Overview

About Ashlands

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

Ashlands is a detached house in Illston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9EF). It has a recorded floor area of 238 m² (around 2562 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a G (score 12), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £744,000 is 63.9% below the 2018 sale of £2,060,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. At 238 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Sold September 2018 for £2,060,000.
