How the estimate is made
The estimate for Apartment 3 is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE1 5RA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About Apartment 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Apartment 3 is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 5RA). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 52 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 86). The latest certificate (September 2020) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
At 52 m² it's 21.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 27 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Apartment 3 is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE1 5RA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. No sale is recorded for Apartment 3, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Apartment 3 was lodged in September 2020 at band E and is valid until September 2030. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Apartment 3. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 53 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE1 5RA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Apartment 3 is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
