About 3 Lee Drive
3 Lee Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Northwich (CW8 1BW). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 sits 59.9% above the 2017 sale of £177,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 20.1% below the postcode norm.
