Overview

About 17 Waterfield Road

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

17 Waterfield Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Cropston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 7HL). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £362,000 sits 81% above the 2011 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 17.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). On the market in August 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years.
