Overview

About 5 Grange Close

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

5 Grange Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Glen, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 9GD). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2013–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £331,000 sits 63.9% above the 2015 sale of £202,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 23.9% below the postcode norm. On the market in June 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.

Method

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 Grange Close is modelled from its 140 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 9GD. 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 5 Grange 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 5 Grange Close was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 5 Grange 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 2 schools and 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 9GD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Grange 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.
