About 22 Fir Tree Avenue

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

22 Fir Tree Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5TH). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 22 Fir Tree Avenue is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 5TH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 22 Fir Tree Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 22 Fir Tree Avenue was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 22 Fir Tree Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 5TH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
22 Fir Tree Avenue is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
