About 29 Westmeath Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
29 Westmeath Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Leicester (LE5 6SS). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2001–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £326,000 sits 70.2% above the 2015 sale of £191,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 25.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 29 Westmeath Avenue is modelled from its 133 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 6SS. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 29 Westmeath Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 29 Westmeath Avenue was lodged in November 2013 at band F and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 29 Westmeath Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 6SS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 29 Westmeath Avenue is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
