Overview

About 4 Briar Walk

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

4 Briar Walk is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oadby, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 5UE). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 874 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 35.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 81 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 4 Briar Walk is modelled from its 81 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 4 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 4 Briar Walk was lodged in February 2012 at band E and expired in February 2022, 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. None is matched to 4 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
4 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.
