About 13 Bulwer Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Bulwer Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE2 3BW). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (38–144 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in October 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 13 Bulwer Road is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE2 3BW. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 13 Bulwer Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 13 Bulwer Road. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- 13 Bulwer Road is in council tax band A. 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.
