Overview

About Grange Cottage

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

Grange Cottage is a semi-detached house in Burton Overy, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 9DP). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £407,000 sits 225.6% above the 1998 sale of £125,000. At 109 m² it sits well below the postcode median (343 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
