About 7 Willow Walk
7 Willow Walk is a semi-detached house in Syston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 1GF). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 939 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £251,000 sits 429% above the 1996 sale of £47,450. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 60.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
