About 73 Dicksons Drive

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

73 Dicksons Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newton, Chester, Chester (CH2 2BT). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump.
