12 Wilson Close, Braunstone, Leicester, LE3 3RF

12 Wilson Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Braunstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE3 3RF). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 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. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 sits 80% above the 2008 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 47.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2012. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 141 m² it's 23.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (114 m² median across 9 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).
