About 1 Chain Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Chain Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Peterborough (PE1 4EY). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.
At 56 m² it's 27.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (77 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2008–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 is 19.5% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£332/sq ft) was about 65.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold January 2022 for £200,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.

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 1 Chain Close is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PE1 4EY. 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 Chain Close. 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 Chain Close was lodged in December 2015 at band C and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Chain Close. 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 30 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PE1 4EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Chain Close is in council tax band B. 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.
