Overview

About Carden Smithy

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

Carden Smithy is a four-bedroom detached house in Clutton, Chester, Chester (CH3 9EP). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1578 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £640,000 is 28% above the 2012 sale price.

How the estimate is made
The estimate for Carden Smithy is modelled from its 147 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 9EP. 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 Carden Smithy. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH3 9EP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
