About 17 Border Close

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

17 Border Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Glenfield, Leicester, Leicester (LE3 8JP). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (September 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 168 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £538,000 is 42.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
