About 20b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20b is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 6BU). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 501 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £125,000 is 37.5% below the 2017 sale of £200,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. At 47 m² it's 22.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (38 m² median across 14 EPCs). Last sold in November 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 20b is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE1 6BU. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 20b. 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 20b was lodged in September 2010 at band D and expired in September 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 20b. 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 54 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE1 6BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20b is in council tax band A. 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.
