About 13 West Street
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.

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.
