Overview

About 70 Upton Drive

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

70 Upton Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Upton, Chester, Chester (CH2 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Sold February 2021 for £242,500. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 is 19.6% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£256/sq ft) was about 34% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
