About The Firs
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Firs is a four-bedroom detached house in Arnesby, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5WG). It has a recorded floor area of 204 m² (around 2196 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2017) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 4-band jump.
At 204 m² the property is well over the postcode median (155 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). 7 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension, a garage conversion and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £781,000 is 25.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£284/sq ft) was about 30.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for The Firs is modelled from its 204 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 5WG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for The Firs. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for The Firs was lodged in April 2017 at band E and is valid until April 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to The Firs. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 5WG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Firs is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
