Overview

About 20 The Mariners

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

20 The Mariners is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 1FB). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2017) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. At 55 m² this is the 26th smallest of 35 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–62 m². Other recorded features include a balcony.

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. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £206,000 sits 71.7% above the 2009 sale of £120,000.
