Overview

About 4 Blanklyn Avenue

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

4 Blanklyn Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 5FA). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 52.6% above the 2016 sale of £196,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 128 m² it's 18.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (108 m² median across 24 EPCs). Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
