Overview

About 8 Castell Drive

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

8 Castell Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in Groby, Leicester, Leicester (LE6 0DD). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 53.4% above the 2015 sale of £194,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£259/sq ft) was about 54.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (109 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
