About 29 Westmeath Avenue
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.

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.
