7 Chestnut Avenue, Oadby, Leicester, LE2 5JH

7 Chestnut Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oadby, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 5JH). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 970 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 90 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. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 sits 74.8% above the 2009 sale of £169,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 19.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
