About Fox Covert
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Fox Covert is a detached house in Capenhurst, Chester, Chester (CH1 6HN). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1905 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £641,000 sits 58.3% above the 2014 sale of £405,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£213/sq ft) was about 43.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, an annexe and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 Fox Covert is modelled from its 177 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 6HN. 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 Fox Covert. 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 Fox Covert was lodged in February 2014 at band G and expired in February 2024, 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. 2 applications are matched to Fox Covert. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 6HN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Fox Covert is in council tax band G. 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.
