About 31 The Meadows

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

31 The Meadows is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ashton Hayes, Chester, Chester (CH3 8BY). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. Other recorded features include notable views. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
