Overview

About 43 West Bank

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

43 West Bank is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Chester (CH1 4BD). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.

The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 59 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (51 m² median across 22 EPCs). Across 2011–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 40% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 18.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in March 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
