Overview

About 3 Woodbank Lane

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

3 Woodbank Lane is a semi-detached house in Woodbank, Chester, Chester (CH1 6JD). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 49). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (360 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £313,000 sits 229.5% above the 1995 sale of £95,000.
