Overview

About 21 Laurel Grove

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

21 Laurel Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hoole, Chester, Chester (CH2 3HU). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

Held since November 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £334,000 sits 325.5% above the 1999 sale of £78,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 69% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2018. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
