Overview

About 5 Alice Gardens

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

5 Alice Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Whetstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 6WH). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a C (score 70).

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2026. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 is 42.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 85.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 131 m² it's 19.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (163 m² median across 6 EPCs).

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 5 Alice Gardens is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 6WH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Alice Gardens. 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 5 Alice Gardens was lodged in August 2025 at band C and is valid until August 2035. 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 5 Alice Gardens. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 6WH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Alice Gardens is in council tax band E. 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.
