Overview

About Rock Bank

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

Rock Bank is a detached house in Chorlton-By-Backford, Chester, Chester (CH2 4BN). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (November 2022) returns a high B (score 89), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in November 2022 the rating was F, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 96). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since April 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £519,000 sits 95.8% above the 2000 sale of £265,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Rock Bank is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 4BN. 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 Rock Bank. 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 Rock Bank was lodged in November 2022 at band B and is valid until November 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Rock Bank. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH2 4BN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
