Overview

About 1 Laurel Grove

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

1 Laurel Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Hoole, Chester, Chester (CH2 3HU). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Across 2001–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year.

Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in May 2016.

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 1 Laurel Grove is modelled from its 166 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 3HU. 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 1 Laurel Grove. 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 1 Laurel Grove was lodged in July 2026 at band D and is valid until July 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 1 Laurel Grove. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH2 3HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Laurel Grove is in council tax band D. 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.
