About 17 Broadmead
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Broadmead is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Vicars Cross, Chester, Chester (CH3 5PT). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1096 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in January 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £217,000 sits 261.7% above the 1998 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£55/sq ft) was about 61.6% below the postcode norm. At 102 m² it's 18.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 24 EPCs).

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 17 Broadmead is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 5PT. 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 17 Broadmead. 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 17 Broadmead was lodged in November 2008 at band D and expired in November 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 Broadmead. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH3 5PT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Broadmead 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.
