About 5 Vicarage Close
5 Vicarage Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Syston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 1HE). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1897 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
