About 1 Church Street
1 Church Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 2DA). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2020) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 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. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 sits 113.9% above the 2009 sale of £108,000.
