About 2b Kings Buildings
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.
