Overview

About 18 Brookside

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

It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2026) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1996–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 is 31.2% above the 2022 sale price. Sold November 2022 for £250,000.

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 18 Brookside is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 8BZ. 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 18 Brookside. 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 18 Brookside was lodged in July 2026 at band B and is valid until July 2036. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18 Brookside. 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 8BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Brookside 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.
