About 273 Chapel Lane

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

It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in December 2021 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 sits 54.1% above the 2022 sale of £255,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 23.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 154 m² it's 19.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (128 m² median across 26 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £255,000 in June 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 273 Chapel Lane is modelled from its 154 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR4 4AB. 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 273 Chapel Lane. 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 273 Chapel Lane was lodged in April 2026 at band C and is valid until April 2036. 2 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 273 Chapel Lane. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR4 4AB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
273 Chapel Lane 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.
