About 6 Browns Way
6 Browns Way is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Whetstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 6YP). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
