About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0FW). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 291 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 27 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (27–52 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity.

Across 2005–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 is 50.3% below the 2024 sale of £320,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.
