Get startedThe Forge is a four-bedroom detached house in Costock, Loughborough, Loughborough (LE12 6XZ). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £361,000 sits 64.1% above the 2009 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 27.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
