How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Orsett Close is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 0AL. 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.

About 1 Orsett Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Orsett Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Leicester (LE5 0AL). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in March 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £320,000 sits 73% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 26.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2013. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 102 m² it's 27.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 7 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 1 Orsett Close is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 0AL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Orsett 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 1 Orsett Close was lodged in July 2018 at band C and is valid until July 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Orsett 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 53 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 0AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Orsett Close is in council tax band D. 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.
