About 2 4

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

2 4 is an end-of-terrace house in Chester (CH1 4EE). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).

Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 is 78.3% below the 2025 sale of £861,300, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£640/sq ft) was about 192.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
