Overview

About 9 Cosby Road

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

9 Cosby Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5PD). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1145 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since March 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £311,000 sits 66.3% above the 2011 sale of £187,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 25.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
