Overview

About 7 Bracken Close

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

7 Bracken Close is a semi-detached house in Broughton, Chester, Chester (CH4 0SL). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 605 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 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. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 sits 63.8% above the 2009 sale of £105,000.
