Overview

About New Ways Farm

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

New Ways Farm is a detached house in Shotwick, Chester, Chester (CH1 6JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 214 m² (around 2303 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average.

Today's modelled estimate of £580,000 is 10.8% below the 2022 sale of £650,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.

One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.

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 New Ways Farm is modelled from its 214 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 6JZ. 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 New Ways Farm. 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 New Ways Farm was lodged in September 2017 at band D and is valid until September 2027. 3 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 New Ways Farm. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 6JZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
New Ways Farm is in council tax band E. 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.
