Overview

About 4 Chapel Close

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

4 Chapel Close is a detached house in Houghton-On-The-Hill, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9HT). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 161 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (139 m² median across 11 EPCs). Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £504,000 is 48.2% above the 2009 sale price.
