7 Hartopp Close is a detached house in Bushby, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9ND). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E.

Held since February 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 130 m² it's 15% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (153 m² median across 7 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 sits 267% above the 1998 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£82/sq ft) was about 43.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
