About 1 2 Lees Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 2 Lees Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Thornton-Le-Moors, Chester, Chester (CH2 4JE). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 sits 54.6% above the 2007 sale of £185,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.

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 1 2 Lees Cottages is modelled from its 129 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 4JE. 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 1 2 Lees Cottages. 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 2 Lees Cottages was lodged in April 2012 at band D and expired in April 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to 1 2 Lees Cottages. 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 1 school and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH2 4JE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
