Overview

About 7 Chestnut Avenue

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

7 Chestnut Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oadby, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 5JH). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 970 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 90 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £276,000 sits 62.4% above the 2009 sale of £169,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 19.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Chestnut Avenue is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE2 5JH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Chestnut Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 7 Chestnut Avenue was lodged in May 2009 at band E and expired in May 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 7 Chestnut Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE2 5JH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Chestnut Avenue is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
