How the estimate is made
The estimate for 56a is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 2HT. 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.

About 56a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
56a is a property in Chester (CH1 2HT). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 828 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity.

Start your researchHow 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 56a is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 2HT. 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. No sale is recorded for 56a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 56a was lodged in May 2011 at band E and expired in May 2021, 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. 1 application is matched to 56a. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 2HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 56a is in council tax band B. 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.
