About 1 Fir Tree Avenue
1 Fir Tree Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5TH). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1258 sq ft) and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 sits 90.9% above the 2009 sale of £165,000.
