How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15a is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 5RN. 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.

About 15a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15a is a three-bedroom detached house in Chester (CH3 5RN). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since October 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area.

At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £331,000 sits 421.7% above the 1997 sale of £63,450. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 74.4% below the postcode norm.

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 15a is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 5RN. 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 15a. 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 15a was lodged in March 2021 at band D and is valid until March 2031. 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 15a. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH3 5RN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15a 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.
