About Robertson Villas
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Robertson Villas is a mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 1BF). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2021) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 74 m² this is the 8th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in Robertson Villas, where floor areas span 34–86 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 18 units on file.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 is 30.3% above the 2009 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Robertson Villas is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME1 1BF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Robertson Villas. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Robertson Villas was lodged in November 2021 at band D and is valid until November 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Robertson Villas. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 46 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME1 1BF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
