Overview

About 8 Lime Grove

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

8 Lime Grove is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hoole, Chester, Chester (CH2 3HW). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1471 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot.

4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 137 m² it's 22% larger than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 21 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Last sold in February 2012, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. Across 2007–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 is 39.7% above the 2012 sale price.

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 8 Lime Grove is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 3HW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 Lime 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 8 Lime Grove was lodged in September 2010 at band E and expired in September 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 8 Lime 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH2 3HW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Lime 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.
