About 12 Gelert Avenue
12 Gelert Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 2NS). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Today's modelled estimate of £266,000 sits 90.1% above the 2015 sale of £139,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 16.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in May 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
