About 5 Gillam Butts
5 Gillam Butts is a semi-detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5PX). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 59.4% above the 2009 sale of £175,000.
