About 159 Hinckley Road
159 Hinckley Road is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0TF). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. At 41 m² this is the 33rd smallest of 81 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–263 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 81 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 is 68.5% below the 2021 sale of £425,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.
