Overview

About 25 Borstal Street

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

25 Borstal Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 3HH). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views.

Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £222,000 sits 101.8% above the 2008 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 19% below the postcode norm. At 74 m² it's 23.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 10 EPCs).
