Overview

About Flat 1

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 1 is an end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 7RA). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 50 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (50–112 m²). On EPC score it ranks last in the building (77 versus a best of 80). The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 58.3% below the 2021 sale of £350,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Most recent transfer: January 2021 at £350,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
