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.
