1a, Acres Road, Leicester Forest East, Leicester, LE3 3HB

1a is a semi-detached house in Leicester Forest East, Leicester, Leicester (LE3 3HB). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 sits 84% above the 2008 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 28% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
