About 16 Baristow Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Baristow Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chester (CH2 2EA). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 sits 62.7% above the 2007 sale of £149,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 30.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2008. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 16 Baristow Close is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 2EA. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 16 Baristow Close. 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 16 Baristow Close was lodged in February 2026 at band C and is valid until February 2036. 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 16 Baristow Close. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH2 2EA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Baristow Close 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.
