About Apartment 5
Apartment 5 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chester (CH1 1HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. At 59 m² this is the 13th smallest of 57 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 52–139 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 57 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on electricity.
