The estimate for 31 The Meadows is modelled from its 109 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 8BY. 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.

Overview

About 31 The Meadows

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

31 The Meadows is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ashton Hayes, Chester, Chester (CH3 8BY). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. Other recorded features include notable views. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 109 m² it's 22.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 9 EPCs). Across 2010–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £296,000 is 32.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 23.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in August 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 31 The Meadows is modelled from its 109 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 8BY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 31 The Meadows. 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 31 The Meadows was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to 31 The Meadows. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH3 8BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
31 The Meadows 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.
