Overview

About 23 Forest Drive

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

23 Forest Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Broughton, Chester, Chester (CH4 0QT). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £205,000 is 39.9% above the 2013 sale price.

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 23 Forest Drive is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 0QT. 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 23 Forest Drive. 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 23 Forest Drive was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 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. None is matched to 23 Forest Drive. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CH4 0QT.
Council tax band
23 Forest Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
