How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Ash Grove is modelled from its 199 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 7QN. 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.

About 4 Ash Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Ash Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Chester (CH4 7QN). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2138 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and a loft.
It hasn't traded since July 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (152 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £878,000 is 32% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£311/sq ft) was about 17.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 4 Ash Grove is modelled from its 199 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 7QN. 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 4 Ash Grove. 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 4 Ash Grove was lodged in December 2010 at band E and expired in December 2020, 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 4 Ash Grove. 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. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH4 7QN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Ash Grove is in council tax band G. 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.
