How the estimate is made
The estimate for 13 West Street is modelled from its 150 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE1 6XL. 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 13 West Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 West Street is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 6XL). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2017–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 100.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £305,000 in July 2022.

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 13 West Street is modelled from its 150 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE1 6XL. 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 13 West Street. 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 13 West Street was lodged in May 2012 at band E and expired in May 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 13 West Street. 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 6XL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 13 West Street is in council tax band C. 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.
