About 2 Whitegate Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Whitegate Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Ashton Hayes, Chester, Chester (CH3 8DF). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2013) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 is 38% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 15.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

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 2 Whitegate Lane is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 8DF. 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 2 Whitegate Lane. 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 2 Whitegate Lane was lodged in July 2013 at band B and expired in July 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 2 Whitegate Lane. 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 8DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Whitegate Lane is in council tax band E. 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.
