Overview

About 22 Brookside

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

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 (March 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

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 £311,000 sits 270.2% above the 1999 sale of £84,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 54% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs).
