How the estimate is made
The estimate for Rose Cottage is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9HT. 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 Rose Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Rose Cottage is a semi-detached house in Eccleston, Chester, Chester (CH4 9HT). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).

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 Rose Cottage is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9HT. 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 Rose Cottage, 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 Rose Cottage was lodged in September 2015 at band E and expired in September 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. None is matched to Rose Cottage. 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 9HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Rose Cottage is in council tax band D. 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.
