Overview

About Flat 12

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

Flat 12 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hamilton, Leicester, Leicester (LE5 1PS). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 726 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2011) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 67 m² this is the 12th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–78 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (84 versus a worst of 66).

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 sits 60.3% above the 2008 sale of £73,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 48.1% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 12 is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 1PS. 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 Flat 12. 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 Flat 12 was lodged in June 2011 at band B and expired in June 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 Flat 12. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 1PS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 12 is in council tax band B. 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.
