Overview

About 12 Fordview Close

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

12 Fordview Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Great Glen, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 9FG). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £470,000 is 30.6% above the 2015 sale price.
