Overview

About 97 Dicksons Drive

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

97 Dicksons Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newton, Chester, Chester (CH2 2BT). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 1997–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 sits 65% above the 2016 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 33.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
