Overview

About 4 Buxton Close

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

4 Buxton Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Whetstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 6NT). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 sits 91.3% above the 2013 sale of £172,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 39.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 4 Buxton Close is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 6NT. 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 4 Buxton Close. 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 4 Buxton Close was lodged in June 2013 at band C and expired in June 2023, 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 4 Buxton Close. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 6NT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Buxton Close 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.
