About 15 West Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. 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.

At 140 m² it's 27.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (110 m² median across 17 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

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 15 West Street is modelled from its 140 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 15 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 15 West Street was lodged in November 2013 at band F and expired in November 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 15 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
- 15 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.
