About 3 Park Cottages
3 Park Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ince, Chester, Chester (CH2 4NS). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 952 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 is 24.2% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 57.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
