Overview

About 1a

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

1a is a detached house in Evington, Leicester, Leicester (LE5 6EA). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 535 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. At 50 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (50–332 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (33 versus a best of 67). The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2011); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £626,000 is 30.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£897/sq ft) was about 319% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 6EA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1a. 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 1a was lodged in September 2011 at band F and expired in September 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. 1 application is matched to 1a. 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 40 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 6EA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1a is in council tax band G. 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.
