Overview

About Ivy Cottage

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

Ivy Cottage is an end-of-terrace house in Saughall, Chester, Chester (CH1 6EN). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 815 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 sits 90.4% above the 2004 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 17.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018.

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 Ivy Cottage is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 6EN. 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 Ivy Cottage. 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 Ivy Cottage was lodged in September 2009 at band D and expired in September 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. 1 application is matched to Ivy Cottage. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 6EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Ivy Cottage 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.
