About Ashlands
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Ashlands is a detached house in Illston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9EF). It has a recorded floor area of 238 m² (around 2562 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a G (score 12), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £744,000 is 63.9% below the 2018 sale of £2,060,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. At 238 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Sold September 2018 for £2,060,000.

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 Ashlands is modelled from its 238 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE7 9EF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Ashlands. 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 Ashlands was lodged in December 2015 at band G and expired in December 2025, 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 Ashlands. 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 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE7 9EF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
