About 15 Avonside Drive
15 Avonside Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 4LA). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 81 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 is 27.1% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£235/sq ft) was about 182.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £225,000 in March 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
