The estimate for Apartment 2 is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 1QD. 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.

Overview

About Apartment 2

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

Apartment 2 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 1QD). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 58 m² this is the 5th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–61 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (58 versus a best of 81). Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across 2003–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 39.2% above the 2017 sale price.

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 Apartment 2 is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 1QD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Apartment 2. 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 Apartment 2 was lodged in September 2021 at band D and is valid until September 2031. 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 Apartment 2. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 1QD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Apartment 2 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.
