Overview

About 54 Lightfoot Street

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

54 Lightfoot Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hoole, Chester, Chester (CH2 3AL). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 46 m² this is the 8th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–133 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

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 54 Lightfoot Street is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 3AL. 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 54 Lightfoot Street. 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 54 Lightfoot Street was lodged in April 2022 at band E and is valid until April 2032. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 54 Lightfoot Street. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH2 3AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
54 Lightfoot Street is in council tax band A. 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.
