15 Eton Close, Leicester, LE2 3TZ

15 Eton Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Leicester (LE2 3TZ). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 sits 77.3% above the 2008 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 19% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 105 m² it's 18% larger than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 13 EPCs).
