Overview

About 78 Liverpool Road

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

78 Liverpool Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Chester (CH2 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot.

Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 79.3% above the 2015 sale of £215,330. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 16.3% below the postcode norm. On the market in April 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.
