About 3 Upper Northgate Street

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

3 Upper Northgate Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chester (CH1 4EE). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 71 m² this is the 12th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–155 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 18 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
