About 15 Ellesmere Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Ellesmere Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Chester (CH2 2DA). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2017) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
Held since October 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15 Ellesmere Avenue is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 2DA. 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 15 Ellesmere Avenue. 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 15 Ellesmere Avenue was lodged in July 2017 at band D and is valid until July 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
