Overview

About 85 89

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

85 89 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 1LX). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 92 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in 85 89, where floor areas span 76–92 m². On EPC score it ranks last in the building (55 versus a best of 62). The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

Today's modelled estimate of £251,000 is 10.8% below the 2023 sale of £281,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

At 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: March 2023 at £281,500.
