How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Highway Road is modelled from its 180 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 5RD. 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 Highway Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Highway Road is a semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 5RD). It has a recorded floor area of 180 m² (around 1938 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 180 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. 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 7 Highway Road is modelled from its 180 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 5RD. 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. No sale is recorded for 7 Highway Road, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Highway Road was lodged in July 2016 at band D 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. 1 application is matched to 7 Highway 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 45 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 5RD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Highway Road is in council tax band D. 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.
