How the estimate is made
The estimate for The Old Rectory is modelled from its 587 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9HD. 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 The Old Rectory
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Old Rectory is a detached house in Eccleston, Chester, Chester (CH4 9HD). It has a recorded floor area of 587 m² (around 6318 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 587 m² the property is well over the postcode median (157 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 6 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

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 The Old Rectory is modelled from its 587 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9HD. 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. No sale is recorded for The Old Rectory, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 The Old Rectory was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to The Old Rectory. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH4 9HD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Old Rectory is in council tax band H. 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.
