Overview

About 321 High Street

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

321 High Street is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 389 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 36 m² this is the 5th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2020. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 is 24.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£321/sq ft) was about 60.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2021 at £125,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
