Overview

About 78 Leicester Road

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

78 Leicester Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Kibworth Harcourt, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 0NN). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2022. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £450,000 sits 100% above the 2009 sale of £225,000.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 78 Leicester Road is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 0NN. 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 78 Leicester Road. 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 78 Leicester Road was lodged in July 2026 at band D and is valid until July 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 78 Leicester Road. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 0NN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
78 Leicester Road is in council tax band E. 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.
