Overview

About 5 Wadkins Way

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

5 Wadkins Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Bushby, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9NA). It has a recorded floor area of 247 m² (around 2659 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in May 2009. Across the public record there are 7 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 247 m² the property is well over the postcode median (172 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £515,000 sits 124.9% above the 2009 sale of £229,000.
