Overview

About Alexandra House

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

Alexandra House is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 1SE). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 76 m² this is the 32nd smallest of 37 units on EPC record in Alexandra House, where floor areas span 34–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 37 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 is 12.2% below the 2020 sale of £156,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. At 76 m² it's 28.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 36 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £156,000 in November 2020.
