How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 West Lane is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE7 9AP. 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.

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.
Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 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). Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £339,000 is 29.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£305/sq ft) was about 52.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 West Lane is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE7 9AP. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 5 West Lane. 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 5 West Lane was lodged in January 2013 at band E and expired in January 2023, 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. None is matched to 5 West Lane. 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 1 school and 7 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE7 9AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 West Lane is in council tax band D. 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.
