ABOUT CHESTER
Chester is a city defined by its heritage, with historic streets, Georgian townhouses and Victorian suburbs forming a large proportion of its residential housing. Areas such as Handbridge, Hoole and the city centre contain many older properties where age-related issues such as damp, timber decay, movement and altered layouts are more common.
As a major regional centre with ongoing development, Chester also includes many buildings that have been renovated or extended over decades. For buyers purchasing character homes or properties close to the historic core, a detailed building survey provides essential insight into structural integrity, repair priorities and risks linked to traditional construction.
