About Wayside
Wayside is a detached house in Capenhurst, Chester, Chester (CH1 6HE). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
Today's modelled estimate of £408,000 is 50.5% below the 2021 sale of £825,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.
