Overview

About 7 Church Lane

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

7 Church Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in Upton, Chester, Chester (CH2 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2026 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Today's modelled estimate of £870,000 is 45% above the 2014 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.

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 7 Church Lane is modelled from its 188 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 1DJ. 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 7 Church Lane. 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 7 Church Lane was lodged in April 2010 at band E and expired in April 2020, 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 7 Church Lane. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH2 1DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Church Lane 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.
