About 13a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chester (CH4 7JE). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 396 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 is 36.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£391/sq ft) was about 154.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
