6 Hartopp Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Bushby, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9ND).

The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in November 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £584,000 sits 260.5% above the 1998 sale of £162,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 56.3% below the postcode norm.
