Overview

About 2 Causeway Lane

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

2 Causeway Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in Cropston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 7GD). It has a recorded floor area of 224 m² (around 2411 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 10 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, solar panel installation, new windows and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in July 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1997–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year.
