Overview

About 14 Fir Tree Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

14 Fir Tree Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5TH). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 788 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since March 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 sits 61.4% above the 2011 sale of £184,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 58.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).
