17 Dart Close, Oadby, Leicester, LE2 4JA

17 Dart Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Oadby, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 4JA). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 62), 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 September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 85 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 62% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 22.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2008.
