The area around Oadby.
Oadby is a prosperous suburb on the south-east edge of Leicester, home to the racecourse, the University of Leicester botanic garden and a large student village. Its housing is mostly spacious detached and semi-detached homes, with many families investing in extensions and gardens. Customers here are discerning and research carefully, so a trades website should show strong photographs of local work and name Oadby, Wigston and Stoneygate.
Elsewhere in Leicestershire: Braunstone Town (5 miles), Syston (7 miles), Earl Shilton (10 miles) and Market Harborough (10 miles). Just over the council boundary, Leicester (3 miles) is close by. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
Wigston, South Wigston, Stoneygate, Great Glen, Knighton and Evington: if you work in particular parts of Oadby, those names belong on the site.
Oadby addresses fall in the LE postcode area, about 167 miles north-east of Exeter, where we are based.
