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 (72 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £311,000 sits 80.8% above the 2013 sale of £172,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 49.3% 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.
