About 9 Penfold Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Penfold Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Capenhurst, Chester, Chester (CH1 6HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 93). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2009–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.6% per year.

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 9 Penfold Close is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 6HJ. 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 9 Penfold Close. 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 9 Penfold Close was lodged in March 2014 at band B and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 9 Penfold Close. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 6HJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9 Penfold Close 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.
