Apartment 17, 3 Colton Square, Leicester, LE1 1QH

Apartment 17 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 1QH). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2019) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 85 m² this is the 38th 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.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 85 m² the property is well over the postcode median (47 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
