About 352 Old Chester Road

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

352 Old Chester Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 3XF). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. Tenure is freehold. Other recorded features include a loft. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 75.3% above the 2008 sale of £77,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 33.2% below the postcode norm.
