Overview

About 5 Chapel Close

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

5 Chapel Close is a detached house in Houghton-On-The-Hill, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9HT). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1498 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £493,000 sits 61.6% above the 2009 sale of £305,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 5 Chapel Close is modelled from its 139 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE7 9HT. 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 5 Chapel Close. 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 Chapel Close was lodged in September 2009 at band D and expired in September 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 5 Chapel Close. 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 2 schools and 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE7 9HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Chapel Close is in council tax band F. 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.
