About 7 Blaker Avenue

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

7 Blaker Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 2RU). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87).

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £295,000 sits 75.6% above the 2007 sale of £168,000.
