Overview

About Flat 5

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

Flat 5 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hamilton, Leicester, Leicester (LE5 1PS). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 61 m² this is the 10th 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 across 16 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 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.
