Overview

About 13 Borrowcup Close

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

13 Borrowcup Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5XJ). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 179 m² the property is well over the postcode median (133 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £454,000 sits 56.6% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£151/sq ft) was about 18.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
