About 15 Arkle Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Arkle Court is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Vicars Cross, Chester, Chester (CH3 5PL). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 43 m² this is the 6th smallest of 51 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–129 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 51 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Sold July 2021 for £75,000. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 is 41.3% above the 2021 sale price.

Start your researchHow 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 15 Arkle Court is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 5PL. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 15 Arkle Court. 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 15 Arkle Court was lodged in November 2015 at band C and expired in November 2025, 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. None is matched to 15 Arkle Court. 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 5PL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Arkle Court is in council tax band C. 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.
