About 4 The Close

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

4 The Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Saughall, Chester, Chester (CH1 6BD). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

At 85 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2017–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.2% per year.
