Overview

About 1 Lea Hall Farm Cottages

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

1 Lea Hall Farm Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Backford, Chester, Chester (CH1 6NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 sits 57.3% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.
