About 3 Chestnut Avenue
3 Chestnut Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oadby, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 5JH). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1086 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 22). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 101 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 sits 77.4% above the 2009 sale of £128,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 45.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
