Overview

About 3 Cosby Road

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

3 Cosby Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5PD). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £341,000 sits 79.5% above the 2007 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 27.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).
