About 40 Dorset Avenue
40 Dorset Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Leeds (LS8 3RA). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
