About 5 Balbec Avenue
5 Balbec Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Leeds (LS6 2BB). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.
