Overview

About 18 Beresford Avenue

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

18 Beresford Avenue is a semi-detached house in Rochester (ME1 2QU). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1189 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 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. At 110 m² it's 28.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 21 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £394,000 sits 102.1% above the 2009 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm.
