5 Bramble Close, Hamilton, Leicester, LE5 1UB

5 Bramble Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hamilton, Leicester, Leicester (LE5 1UB). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 sits 79% above the 2007 sale of £128,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 15.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 71 m² it's 18.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 13 EPCs).
