About 23 Ballater Crescent
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Ballater Crescent is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Vicars Cross, Chester, Chester (CH3 5JD). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2026) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since February 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 71.9% above the 2009 sale of £126,825. At 82 m² it's 17.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 13 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 85% of similar EPCs).

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 23 Ballater Crescent is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 5JD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 23 Ballater Crescent. 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 23 Ballater Crescent was lodged in February 2026 at band B and is valid until February 2036. 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 23 Ballater Crescent. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH3 5JD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 Ballater Crescent is in council tax band B. 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.
