About Apartment 11
Apartment 11 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 1QH). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on electricity. At 47 m² this is the 19th smallest of 40 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–99 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to A across 40 units on file. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 is 17.4% below the 2007 sale of £140,500, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£278/sq ft) was about 51.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
