How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Florence Road is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 3FU. 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 5 Florence Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Florence Road is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 3FU). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in July 2001. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 sits 318.6% above the 2001 sale of £59,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 70.4% below the postcode norm.

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 5 Florence Road is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 3FU. 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 5 Florence 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 5 Florence Road was lodged in September 2013 at band E and expired in September 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. None is matched to 5 Florence 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 52 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 3FU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Florence Road is in council tax band B. 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.
