About 11 Bencroft Close
11 Bencroft Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Anstey, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 7DG). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since November 1995, a hold of 31 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. Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 sits 392% above the 1995 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 48.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
