Overview

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. Other recorded features include a basement.

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. Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£231/sq ft) was about 145.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £348,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
