Overview

About 17 Pits Avenue

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

17 Pits Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Braunstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE3 2XL). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
