About 22 Brookside
22 Brookside is a semi-detached house in Ashton Hayes, Chester, Chester (CH3 8BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 sits 257.1% above the 1999 sale of £84,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 53.6% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).
