Overview

About 3 Blackfriars Court

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

3 Blackfriars Court is a two-bedroom detached house in Chester (CH1 2PY). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. At 66 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–103 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 9 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1995–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 65% above the 2002 sale of £147,250.

Method

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 3 Blackfriars Court is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 2PY. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 3 Blackfriars Court. 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 3 Blackfriars Court was lodged in February 2009 at band D and expired in February 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. None is matched to 3 Blackfriars Court. 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 2PY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Blackfriars Court is in council tax band D. 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.
