81 Windmill Street, Gravesend, DA12 1BN

81 Windmill Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Gravesend (DA12 1BN). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 760 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 71 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–200 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £227,000 sits 467.5% above the 1995 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 65.5% below the postcode norm. At 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: a basement excavation approved in 2012. Past consents include a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
