Overview

About 6 Durston Close

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

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. Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. At 78 m² it's 26.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 4 EPCs). Across 2010–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £266,000 is 47.8% above the 2017 sale price.
