About 5 Westmeath Avenue
5 Westmeath Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Leicester (LE5 6SS).

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
