How the estimate is made

The estimate for 7 Castle Way is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9NX. 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.

Overview

About 7 Castle Way

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

7 Castle Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Dodleston, Chester, Chester (CH4 9NX). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £452,000 is 32% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£251/sq ft) was about 34.4% 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 7 Castle Way is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9NX. 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 7 Castle 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 7 Castle Way was lodged in March 2015 at band D and expired in March 2025, 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. None is matched to 7 Castle 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 9NX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Castle Way 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.
