Overview

About Firbeck

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

Firbeck is a detached house in Broxton, Chester, Chester (CH3 9JL). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1222 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 114 m² it sits well below the postcode median (171 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £450,000 is 32.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£278/sq ft) was about 20.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Firbeck is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 9JL. 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 Firbeck. 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 Firbeck was lodged in March 2009 at band F and expired in March 2019, 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 Firbeck. 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 1 school and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH3 9JL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
