About 15 Black Diamond Park
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Black Diamond Park is an end-of-terrace house in Chester (CH1 3ET). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 589 sq ft) and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2008) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 55 m² this is the 28th smallest of 56 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 6–191 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top.
It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £125,000 sits 67.3% above the 2009 sale of £74,705. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 37.3% below the postcode norm.

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 15 Black Diamond Park is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 3ET. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 15 Black Diamond Park. 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 15 Black Diamond Park was lodged in December 2008 at band B and expired in December 2018, 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 15 Black Diamond Park. 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 3ET, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Black Diamond Park 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.
