About 17 Bodnant Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Bodnant Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 5RB). It has a recorded floor area of 174 m² (around 1873 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since August 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 174 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £320,000 sits 353.9% above the 1999 sale of £70,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£38/sq ft) was about 74.4% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. 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 17 Bodnant Avenue is modelled from its 174 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 5RB. 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 17 Bodnant Avenue. 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 17 Bodnant Avenue was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 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. 2 applications are matched to 17 Bodnant Avenue. 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 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 5RB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Bodnant Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
