Overview

About 18 Brent Knowle Gardens

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

18 Brent Knowle Gardens is a two-bedroom detached house in Leicester (LE5 2GA). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 72). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £334,000 sits 135.2% above the 2009 sale of £142,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 76% of similar EPCs).
