About 7 Church Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Church Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 2DA). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a basement. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot.
Most recent transfer: September 2022 at £240,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£282/sq ft) was about 85.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 7 Church Street is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME1 2DA. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 7 Church Street. 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 7 Church Street was lodged in October 2016 at band E and expired in October 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 7 Church Street. 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 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME1 2DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Church Street is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
