About 42 High Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
42 High Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tarvin, Chester, Chester (CH3 8EE). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £189,000 is 35% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 38.9% below the postcode norm.
