Overview

About 20 New Road

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

20 New Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 1BG). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £404,000 sits 68.3% above the 2009 sale of £240,000. At 115 m² it's 29.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (164 m² median across 5 EPCs).
