Overview

About 8 Church Lane

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 Church Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Gaddesby, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 4WE). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1318 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

Held since September 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. At 122 m² it's 28.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (172 m² median across 9 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £541,000 is 28.8% above the 2009 sale price.
