Overview

About 9 Colbert Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

9 Colbert Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE3 2JB). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since March 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. At 188 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2006–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £316,000 sits 91.5% above the 2011 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£82/sq ft) was about 55.7% below the postcode norm.
