Overview

About 8 Brownhill Crescent

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

8 Brownhill Crescent is a four-bedroom detached house in Rothley, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 7LA). It has a recorded floor area of 180 m² (around 1941 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include partial demolition and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 180 m² it's 26.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (245 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £876,000 is 34.8% above the 2011 sale price.

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 8 Brownhill Crescent is modelled from its 180 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE7 7LA. 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 8 Brownhill Crescent. 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 8 Brownhill Crescent was lodged in April 2010 at band F and expired in April 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 8 Brownhill Crescent. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE7 7LA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Brownhill Crescent is in council tax band G. 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.
