Overview

About 9 Barwoods Drive

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

9 Barwoods Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Saltney, Chester, Chester (CH4 8NU). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 sits 242.9% above the 2000 sale of £49,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£78/sq ft) was about 45.3% below the postcode norm.

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 9 Barwoods Drive is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 8NU. 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 9 Barwoods 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 9 Barwoods Drive was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, 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 9 Barwoods 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. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH4 8NU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
9 Barwoods Drive 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.
