About 2 Briar Walk
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Briar Walk is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oadby, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 5UE). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.
Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 85.7% above the 2012 sale of £168,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 28% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 2 Briar Walk is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE2 5UE. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Briar Walk. 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 2 Briar Walk was lodged in October 2013 at band D and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 2 Briar Walk. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE2 5UE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Briar Walk 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.
