About 6 Durston Close
6 Durston Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 6LF). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
