Overview

About Apartment 18

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

Apartment 18 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 1QH). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2021) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 50 m² this is the 21st 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.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 is 18.2% above the 2009 sale price.
