Overview

About 5 Acres Road

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

5 Acres Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester Forest East, Leicester, Leicester (LE3 3HB). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1255 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Today's modelled estimate of £295,000 sits 51.3% above the 2015 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 19.9% below the postcode norm. At 117 m² it's 26.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 15 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 5 Acres Road is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE3 3HB. 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 5 Acres Road. 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 5 Acres Road was lodged in September 2010 at band E and expired in September 2020, 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 5 Acres Road. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE3 3HB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Acres Road 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.
