About The Ashlands
The Ashlands is a detached house in Illston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9EF). It has a recorded floor area of 871 m² (around 9378 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a G (score 19), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 32). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £1,428,000 is 30.7% below the 2018 sale of £2,060,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for an extension is awaiting a decision. At 871 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). Most recent transfer: September 2018 at £2,060,000.
