About 137 Fosse Road South
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
137 Fosse Road South is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0FW). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 51 m² this is the 15th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–129 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1995–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 56.8% below the 2024 sale of £345,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£628/sq ft) was about 36.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² the property is well over the postcode median (27 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold October 2024 for £345,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 137 Fosse Road South is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE3 0FW. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 137 Fosse Road South. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 137 Fosse Road South was lodged in May 2015 at band C and expired in May 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 137 Fosse Road South. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE3 0FW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 137 Fosse Road South is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
