About Flat B
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat B is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (57 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 13.6% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 68% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: September 2021 at £125,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Flat B is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME1 1BU. 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 Flat B. 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 Flat B was lodged in June 2026 at band D and is valid until June 2036. 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 Flat B. 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 48 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME1 1BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
