About 10 Foston Road

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

10 Foston Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5QP). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2014–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 66.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 is 43.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 15.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
