The best properties in Chester to buy with a home office

Working from home is far from a new trend, but it took a global pandemic for businesses to realise that their workforce can be just as productive working from home as they do coming into the office. As such, employers are now much more flexible about working from home for all or part of the time, and this has led to an increased demand for properties with a home office.

Alex Horne, Senior Valuer at Matthews says: “Due to the high demand for home office space, prospective buyers need to look beyond how the current owners use the accommodation and consider whether they could adapt other rooms in the property, such as a dining room or smaller bedroom into a home office.”

Here are our top properties in Chester that offer a home office, or the potential to adapt the accommodation to suit your home working needs.
