Overview

About 22 Hawthorn Drive

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

22 Hawthorn Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blaby, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 4AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 458 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66).

Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 sits 61.1% above the 2010 sale of £149,000.

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 22 Hawthorn Drive is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 4AJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 22 Hawthorn Drive. 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 22 Hawthorn Drive was lodged in April 2010 at band E and expired in April 2020, 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 22 Hawthorn Drive. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 4AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
22 Hawthorn Drive is in council tax band C. 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.
