About 8 Brooklands Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Brooklands Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cosby, Leicester, Leicester (LE9 1SD). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
