Overview

About 5 West Lane

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

5 West Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Billesdon, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9AP). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 80 m² it's 24.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
