About 5 Bushby Road
5 Bushby Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 0DE). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
