About 27 Chester Drive
27 Chester Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Harrow (HA2 7PT). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 997 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 93 m² it's 19.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 5 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £535,000 sits 84.5% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£291/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
