About 3 Bencroft Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Bencroft Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Anstey, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 7DG). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 68.5% above the 2008 sale of £174,444. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 53.9% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 3 Bencroft Close is modelled from its 140 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE7 7DG. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Bencroft Close. 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 3 Bencroft Close was lodged in December 2014 at band E and expired in December 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 3 Bencroft Close. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE7 7DG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Bencroft Close is in council tax band C. 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.
