Overview

About 5 Fir Tree Avenue

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

5 Fir Tree Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5TH). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 860 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
