About 536 Old Chester Road
536 Old Chester Road is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 4PF). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71).
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
