About 21 Leicester Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Leicester Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 1PP). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (48–135 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 16 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2006 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £111,000 is 26.1% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 95.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow 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 21 Leicester Road is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 1PP. 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 21 Leicester Road. 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 21 Leicester Road was lodged in February 2015 at band E and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 21 Leicester Road. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 1PP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 21 Leicester Road is in council tax band A. 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.
