About 12 Manor Farm Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Manor Farm Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Mickle Trafford, Chester, Chester (CH2 4EZ). It has a recorded floor area of 307 m² (around 3305 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since December 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 307 m² the property is well over the postcode median (140 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £802,000 is 24.3% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£195/sq ft) was about 28.3% below the postcode norm.

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 12 Manor Farm Close is modelled from its 307 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 4EZ. 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 12 Manor Farm 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 12 Manor Farm Close was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 12 Manor Farm 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.

- Council tax band
- 12 Manor Farm Close is in council tax band G. 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.
