About 12 Wilson Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 £352,000 sits 90.3% 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).

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 12 Wilson Close is modelled from its 141 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE3 3RF. 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 12 Wilson Close. 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 12 Wilson Close was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 12 Wilson Close. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE3 3RF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12 Wilson Close is in council tax band E. 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.
