Overview

About Granary Wharf

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

Granary Wharf is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chester (CH3 5BE). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Main heating runs on electricity. At 58 m² this is the 7th smallest of 50 units on EPC record in Granary Wharf, where floor areas span 26–150 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 50 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 19.8% below the 2008 sale of £191,950, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£307/sq ft) was about 56.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 58 m² it's 25.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 49 EPCs).
