Overview

About 3 Abbey Way

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

3 Abbey Way is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hartford, Northwich, Northwich (CW8 1LY). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. At 62 m² this is the 5th smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–188 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 27 units on file.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£301/sq ft) was about 63.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
