About 2 Grosvenor Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Grosvenor Cottages is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Handbridge, Chester, Chester (CH4 7JU). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since September 1999 — that's 27 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 £171,000 sits 216.7% above the 1999 sale of £54,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 48.5% below the postcode norm.
