About 27 Drinkstone Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
27 Drinkstone Road is a semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 5DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

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 27 Drinkstone Road is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 5DJ. 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 27 Drinkstone 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 27 Drinkstone Road was lodged in July 2016 at band E and expired in July 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 27 Drinkstone 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 50 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 5DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 27 Drinkstone 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.
