Overview

About 16 Dicksons Drive

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

16 Dicksons Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chester (CH2 2BN). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 107 m² it's 24.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 13 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 is 45.7% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 24.2% below the postcode norm.
