About 56 Westbourne Avenue
56 Westbourne Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Garforth, Leeds, Leeds (LS25 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since May 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £320,000 sits 50.2% above the 2011 sale of £213,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 23.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
