About 15 Beechwood Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Beechwood Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Leicester (LE5 6SY). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £433,000 sits 73.2% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. One planning record on file: an annexe approved in 2015. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 15 Beechwood Close is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 6SY. 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 15 Beechwood Close. 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 15 Beechwood Close was lodged in July 2015 at band E and expired in July 2025, 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 15 Beechwood Close. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 6SY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Beechwood Close is in council tax band F. 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.
