About 38 Barry Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Barry Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Syston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 1LX). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it B (May 2009); the latest reading is 4 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £507,000 is 40.8% above the 2020 sale price.

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 38 Barry Drive is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE7 1LX. 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 38 Barry Drive. 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 38 Barry Drive was lodged in September 2013 at band F and expired in September 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 9 applications are matched to 38 Barry Drive. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE7 1LX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 38 Barry Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
