Overview

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 £427,000 sits 70.8% 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.
