Overview

About 3 Foston Road

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

3 Foston Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5QP). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a loft. Period features are noted in the property record.

Across 2010–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 38.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: October 2022 at £217,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
