Overview

About 6 Bute Way

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

6 Bute Way is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5TX). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 70.9% above the 2013 sale of £165,000. At 119 m² it's 22.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Last sold in July 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.

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 6 Bute Way is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 5TX. 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 6 Bute Way. 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 6 Bute Way was lodged in December 2013 at band E and expired in December 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 6 Bute Way. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 5TX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Bute Way 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.
