About 2b Kings Buildings
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2b Kings Buildings is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chester (CH1 2AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 119 m² this is the 11th smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 26–358 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sale on file: £312,000 in March 2021. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 is 11.5% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 15.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 2b Kings Buildings is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 2AJ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 2b Kings Buildings. 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 2b Kings Buildings was lodged in September 2014 at band C and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2b Kings Buildings. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 2AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
