About 15 West Street
15 West Street is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 6XL). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since April 2013.

The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
