Overview

About Apartment 1

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

Apartment 1 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hamilton, Leicester, Leicester (LE5 1PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 50 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–56 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since December 2011. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
