About Half Moon
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Half Moon is a detached house in Eccleston, Chester, Chester (CH4 9JN). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £626,000 sits 52.7% above the 2017 sale of £410,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 47.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 163 m² it sits well below the postcode median (256 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in January 2017, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2026.

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 Half Moon is modelled from its 163 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9JN. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Half Moon. 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 Half Moon was lodged in February 2016 at band F and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Half Moon. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH4 9JN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Half Moon is in council tax band G. 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.
