Overview

About 1 Berkley House

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

1 Berkley House is a two-bedroom detached house in Chesterfield (S40 2FN). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 565 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 53 m² this is the 5th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sold in November 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2007–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at -5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 is 41.6% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£157/sq ft) was about 24.7% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

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 Berkley House is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S40 2FN. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Berkley House. 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 Berkley House was lodged in June 2011 at band C and expired in June 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. None is matched to 1 Berkley House. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S40 2FN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Berkley House 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.
