Overview

About 18 Broadfield Way

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

18 Broadfield Way is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5XR). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since June 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2003–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £207,000 sits 55.6% above the 2006 sale of £133,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 23.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 57 m² it's 16.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (68 m² median across 25 EPCs).
