The estimate for Woodley is modelled from its 151 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9DF. 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 Woodley
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Woodley is a detached house in Belgrave, Chester, Chester (CH4 9DF). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 151 m² it's 24.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (201 m² median across 7 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Woodley is modelled from its 151 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9DF. 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 Woodley. 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 Woodley was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Woodley. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH4 9DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Woodley is in council tax band F. 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.
