3 Beatty Drive, Congleton, CW12 2ER

3 Beatty Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Congleton (CW12 2ER). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 955 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (December 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since June 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 89 m² it's 18.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 13 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £253,000 sits 197.6% above the 2001 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 50.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
