Overview

About Church Close

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

Church Close is a detached house in Illston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9EG). It has a recorded floor area of 216 m² (around 2325 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 216 m² the property is well over the postcode median (112 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2019. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £826,000 is 22.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 16.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2017, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
