About Apartment 1

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

Apartment 1 is a semi-detached house in Hamilton, Leicester, Leicester (LE5 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–81 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (75 versus a best of 82). The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 68 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 37.8% above the 2009 sale price.
