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 £750,000 is 20.4% 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.
