About 2 Elmcroft Avenue
2 Elmcroft Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 2DL). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 73 m² the property is well over the postcode median (37 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 sits 108.1% above the 2007 sale of £123,500.
