About Overleigh Manor
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Overleigh Manor is a detached house in Handbridge, Chester, Chester (CH4 7JR). It has a recorded floor area of 208 m² (around 2234 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 208 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,185,000 is 24.7% above the 2007 sale price.

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 Overleigh Manor is modelled from its 208 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 7JR. 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 Overleigh Manor. 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 Overleigh Manor was lodged in May 2010 at band F and expired in May 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH4 7JR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
