Get startedThe Old Rectory is a detached house in Eccleston, Chester, Chester (CH4 9HD). It has a recorded floor area of 587 m² (around 6318 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
