Overview

About The Chimes

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

The Chimes is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sheffield (S1 2EH). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 75 m² this is the 18th smallest of 46 units on EPC record in The Chimes, where floor areas span 36–123 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). 10 years since the last transfer (November 2016). Across 2006–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.6% per year.
