Overview

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 £292,000 sits 52.5% 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.
