About 20 Dorset Avenue
20 Dorset Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Leeds (LS8 3RA). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).
