How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Bushby Road is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 0DE. 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 17 Bushby Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Bushby Road is an end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 0DE). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 58 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (58–89 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 16 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2017) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in September 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor.
Held since July 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £140,000 sits 391.2% above the 1996 sale of £28,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£46/sq ft) was about 57.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 58 m² it's 25.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 15 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% 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 17 Bushby Road is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 0DE. 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 17 Bushby 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 17 Bushby Road was lodged in August 2017 at band C and is valid until August 2027. 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 17 Bushby 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 54 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 0DE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Bushby Road is in council tax band A. 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.
