About 5 White Friars
5 White Friars is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chester (CH1 1NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (August 2023) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (121 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £320,000 is 33.4% above the 2007 sale price.
