Overview

About 4 Chester Close

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

4 Chester Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Worcester (WR5 1QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and roof efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in October 2001. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £234,000 sits 187.5% above the 2001 sale of £81,400. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 49.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
