About 3 Chestnut Avenue
3 Chestnut Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Crosby, Liverpool, Liverpool (L23 2SY). It has a recorded floor area of 201 m² (around 2162 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 53). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 2005–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £682,000 sits 70.5% above the 2016 sale of £400,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 22.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 201 m² it sits well below the postcode median (350 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
