About 3 Plemstall Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Plemstall Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Mickle Trafford, Chester, Chester (CH2 4QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1214 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 113 m² it's 16.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (135 m² median across 11 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 is 27.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 16.1% 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 3 Plemstall Way is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 4QJ. 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 3 Plemstall Way. 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 3 Plemstall Way was lodged in December 2008 at band D and expired in December 2018, 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. 3 applications are matched to 3 Plemstall Way. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH2 4QJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Plemstall Way is in council tax band E. 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.
