Overview

About 17 Laurel Grove

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

17 Laurel Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hoole, Chester, Chester (CH2 3HU). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 999 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £317,000 is 45.7% above the 2007 sale price.
