About Skeffington House
Skeffington House is a detached house in Skeffington, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9YD). It has a recorded floor area of 601 m² (around 6466 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in September 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 601 m² the property is well over the postcode median (185 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2016. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,790,000 is 19.3% above the 2008 sale price.
