About 5 Chesham Street
5 Chesham Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Chester (CH1 3DB). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 sits 68.5% above the 2009 sale of £89,000.
