About Granary Wharf
Granary Wharf is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chester (CH3 5BE). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 84 m² this is the 29th 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 £184,000 is 19.1% below the 2007 sale of £227,442, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 27.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since November 2007, 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.
