Overview

About 3 Bray Road

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

3 Bray Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chester (CH4 8DL). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

At 71 m² it's 17.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 5 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 31.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 46.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 10 years since the last transfer (September 2016).

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 3 Bray Road is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 8DL. 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 3 Bray Road. 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 3 Bray Road was lodged in December 2015 at band C and expired in December 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 3 Bray Road. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH4 8DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Bray Road is in council tax band B. 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.
