Overview

About 5 Brooke Avenue

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

5 Brooke Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chester (CH2 1HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Today's modelled estimate of £425,000 sits 56.8% above the 2014 sale of £271,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 50% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in April 2014.
