About 7 College Avenue

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

7 College Avenue is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE2 0JF). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2010.
