About 57a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
57a is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0LE). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 46 m² this is the 13th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 20–166 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 28 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 is 61.6% below the 2022 sale of £320,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. At 46 m² it's 19.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (57 m² median across 27 EPCs). Last sale on file: £320,000 in February 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 57a is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE3 0LE. 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 57a. 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 57a was lodged in August 2019 at band E and is valid until August 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 57a. 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 49 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE3 0LE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 57a 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.
