How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Drumcliff Road is modelled from its 176 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 2LH. 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 Drumcliff Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Drumcliff Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 2LH). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 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. At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £258,000 sits 102.4% above the 2008 sale of £127,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 43% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Drumcliff Road is modelled from its 176 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 2LH. 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 1 Drumcliff 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 1 Drumcliff Road was lodged in May 2014 at band D and expired in May 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 1 Drumcliff 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 2LH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Drumcliff 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.
