Overview

About 130 Foregate Street

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

130 Foregate Street is a semi-detached house in Chester (CH1 1HB). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 493 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 46 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (46–84 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (1 versus a best of 74). The latest certificate (October 2009) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 is 11.3% below the 2023 sale of £345,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 7 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Most recent transfer: July 2023 at £345,000.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 130 Foregate Street is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 1HB. 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 130 Foregate Street. 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 130 Foregate Street was lodged in October 2009 at band G and expired in October 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to 130 Foregate Street. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 1HB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
