How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Cowley Way is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 2PJ. 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 7 Cowley Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Cowley Way is a semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 2PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 sits 129.1% above the 2014 sale of £117,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 59.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2026.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 7 Cowley Way is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 2PJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Cowley Way. 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 7 Cowley Way was lodged in April 2013 at band D and expired in April 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 7 Cowley Way. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 2PJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Cowley Way 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.
