Overview

About Flat

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

Flat is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 1PA). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 4 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 35 m² this is the 5th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–53 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 15 units on file.

It hasn't traded since May 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 sits 126.8% above the 1999 sale of £56,000.
