Overview

About 18 Cambridge Road

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

18 Cambridge Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chester (CH2 2LP). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
