How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Chestnut Avenue is modelled from its 201 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in L23 2SY. 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 3 Chestnut Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Chestnut Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Crosby, Liverpool, Liverpool (L23 2SY). It has a recorded floor area of 201 m² (around 2162 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 53). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 2005–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £668,000 sits 67% above the 2016 sale of £400,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 22.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 201 m² it sits well below the postcode median (350 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 3 Chestnut Avenue is modelled from its 201 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in L23 2SY. 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 3 Chestnut Avenue. 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 3 Chestnut Avenue was lodged in February 2011 at band F and expired in February 2021, 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. 5 applications are matched to 3 Chestnut Avenue. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from L23 2SY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Chestnut Avenue 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.
