Overview

About 5 Beech Grove

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

5 Beech Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hoole, Chester, Chester (CH2 3HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, 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 £444,000 sits 53% above the 2016 sale of £290,150. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£275/sq ft) was about 28.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. At 98 m² it's 22.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (126 m² median across 10 EPCs).
