Overview

About 536 Old Chester Road

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

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. At 170 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 sits 129.9% above the 2007 sale of £77,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 38.4% below the postcode norm.
