Overview

About 15 Biggs Close

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

15 Biggs Close is a semi-detached house in Whetstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 6WG). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1995–1999, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 sits 245.2% above the 1999 sale of £67,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 39.8% below the postcode norm.

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 15 Biggs Close is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 6WG. 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 15 Biggs 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 15 Biggs Close was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 Biggs 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 6WG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 Biggs 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.
