It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since.

Across 2009–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £400,000 sits 66.7% above the 2013 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 31 Waterfield Road is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE7 7HL. 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 31 Waterfield Road. 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 31 Waterfield Road was lodged in June 2012 at band D and expired in June 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to 31 Waterfield Road. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE7 7HL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
31 Waterfield Road is in council tax band E. 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.
