Overview

About Kettlewell Cottage

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

Kettlewell Cottage is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Illston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9EG). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1064 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since May 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 66.1% above the 2011 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 35% below the postcode norm. At 99 m² it's 15.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 34 EPCs).

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 Kettlewell Cottage is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE7 9EG. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Kettlewell Cottage. 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 Kettlewell Cottage was lodged in June 2011 at band E and expired in June 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Kettlewell Cottage. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from LE7 9EG. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Kettlewell Cottage is in council tax band C. 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.
