The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 23 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE1 6WU. 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 Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is an end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 6WU). It has a recorded floor area of 23 m² (around 248 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2019); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 is 13.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£889/sq ft) was about 593.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 23 m² it's 28.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (32 m² median across 23 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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 23 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE1 6WU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in June 2019 at band D and is valid until June 2029. 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 Flat 1. 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 51 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE1 6WU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
