Overview

About Granary Wharf

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

Granary Wharf is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chester (CH3 5BE). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Main heating runs on electricity. At 58 m² this is the 7th smallest of 50 units on EPC record in Granary Wharf, where floor areas span 26–150 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 50 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 19.8% below the 2008 sale of £191,950, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£307/sq ft) was about 56.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 58 m² it's 25.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 49 EPCs).

How to read this page

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 Granary Wharf is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 5BE. 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 Granary Wharf. 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 Granary Wharf was lodged in June 2019 at band C and is valid until June 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Granary Wharf. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH3 5BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Granary Wharf 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.
