About 5 Bath Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Bath Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chester (CH1 1QL). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
A recent sale: £275,000 in September 2025. Across 2021–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£360/sq ft) was about 134% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.

Start your researchHow 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 5 Bath Street is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 1QL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Bath Street. 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 5 Bath Street was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 5 Bath Street. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 1QL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Bath Street is in council tax band C. 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.
