Overview

About Yew Tree Cottage

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

Yew Tree Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Peatling Magna, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5UH). It has a recorded floor area of 290 m² (around 3122 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 290 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,518,000 sits 76% above the 2007 sale of £862,500.

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 Yew Tree Cottage is modelled from its 290 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 5UH. 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 Yew Tree Cottage. 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 Yew Tree Cottage was lodged in August 2016 at band E and expired in August 2026, 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. None is matched to Yew Tree Cottage. 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 3 schools and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 5UH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Yew Tree Cottage is in council tax band G. 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.
