How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 1AE. 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.

About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is an end-of-terrace house in Chester (CH2 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 37 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (37–105 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 7 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in May 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 sits 82.1% above the 2000 sale of £123,000. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (54 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 1AE. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in March 2019 at band D and is valid until March 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 1. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH2 1AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
