Overview

About 23 Laurel Grove

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

23 Laurel Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hoole, Chester, Chester (CH2 3HU). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 901 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.

Last changed hands 10 years ago, in May 2016. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, 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 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 is 36.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£298/sq ft) was about 32.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
