About Rear Of 5
Rear Of 5 is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chester (CH1 1SA). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).
It hasn't traded since July 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £643,000 sits 173.6% above the 2001 sale of £235,000.
