Overview

About 12 Bodicoat Close

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

12 Bodicoat Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Whetstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 6ZN). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 100 m² it sits well below the postcode median (145 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in November 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1998–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £369,000 is 35.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£253/sq ft) was about 42.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
