Overview

About 2 Foston Road

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

2 Foston Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5QP). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since March 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 sits 291.7% above the 2000 sale of £48,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£64/sq ft) was about 61.6% below the postcode norm. At 70 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 14 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
