Overview

About 23 Forest Drive

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

23 Forest Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Broughton, Chester, Chester (CH4 0QT). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 is 37.9% above the 2013 sale price.
