Overview

About 7 Beacon Close

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

7 Beacon Close is a semi-detached house in Whetstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 6PG). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft) and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 96). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 is 22.5% below the 2015 sale of £240,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£297/sq ft) was about 35.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 75 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in January 2015, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
