Overview

About 7 The Chestnuts

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

7 The Chestnuts is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Gloucester (GL1 1YH). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 70 m² this is the 6th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–189 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include notable views. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 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. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 is 28% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 24.1% below the postcode norm.
