About 3 Cross Green
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Cross Green is a four-bedroom detached house in Upton, Chester, Chester (CH2 1QR). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £459,000 sits 98.3% above the 2009 sale of £231,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£151/sq ft) was about 32.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 142 m² it's 17.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (121 m² median across 30 EPCs).

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 3 Cross Green is modelled from its 142 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 1QR. 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 3 Cross Green. 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 3 Cross Green was lodged in July 2013 at band C and expired in July 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 3 Cross Green. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH2 1QR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Cross Green 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.
