Overview

About 2 Alwyn Gardens

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

2 Alwyn Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Upton, Chester, Chester (CH2 1LW). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2019. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2013–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 42% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 is 40% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£254/sq ft) was about 25% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 2 Alwyn Gardens is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 1LW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2 Alwyn Gardens. 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 2 Alwyn Gardens was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 2025, 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 2 Alwyn Gardens. 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 CH2 1LW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Alwyn Gardens is in council tax band C. 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.
