About 15 Becketts Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Becketts Lane is a detached house in Chester (CH3 5RN). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2020 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £520,000 is 30% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 20.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
