About 518 Old Chester Road

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

518 Old Chester Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 4PF). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).

Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
