How the estimate is made

About 10 Acre Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 Acre Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Rochester (ME1 2RE). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2011. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2011–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at -34.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £401,000 sits 261.3% above the 2012 sale of £111,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 55.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 10 Acre Close is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME1 2RE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 10 Acre Close. 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 10 Acre Close was lodged in October 2013 at band D and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 10 Acre Close. 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 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME1 2RE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 10 Acre Close is in council tax band E. 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.
