Overview

About 7 Chester Close

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

7 Chester Close is a semi-detached house in St. Mellons, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF3 0EP). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £205,000 is 28.1% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 34% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £160,000 in November 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Chester Close is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF3 0EP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Chester Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 7 Chester Close was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7 Chester Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CF3 0EP.
Council tax band
7 Chester Close is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
