Overview

About 3 Almond Close

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

3 Almond Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5TG). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 644 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £222,000 sits 70.8% above the 2009 sale of £130,000.
