Overview

About 5 Acres Road

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

5 Acres Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester Forest East, Leicester, Leicester (LE3 3HB). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1255 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 45), 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 September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 sits 53.8% above the 2015 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 20.6% below the postcode norm. At 117 m² it's 28.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (91 m² median across 14 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
