About 20 Causeway Lane

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

20 Causeway Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in Cropston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 7GD). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 443 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

11 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (91 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.1% per year.
