17 Bodnant Avenue, Leicester, LE5 5RB

17 Bodnant Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 5RB). It has a recorded floor area of 174 m² (around 1873 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since August 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 174 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 sits 346.8% above the 1999 sale of £70,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£38/sq ft) was about 74.4% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
