Overview

About 1 Penfold Way

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

1 Penfold Way is a three-bedroom detached house in Dodleston, Chester, Chester (CH4 9NL). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 439 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, tree works and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 is 29% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£636/sq ft) was about 272.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 1 Penfold Way is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9NL. 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 1 Penfold Way. 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 1 Penfold Way was lodged in June 2010 at band E and expired in June 2020, 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. 6 applications are matched to 1 Penfold Way. 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 1 school and 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH4 9NL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Penfold Way 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.
