Overview

About 1 Overleigh Terrace

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

1 Overleigh Terrace is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Handbridge, Chester, Chester (CH4 7JR). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £206,000 sits 194.5% above the 2001 sale of £69,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 55.6% below the postcode norm.
