About 1 Borstal Mews
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Borstal Mews is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 3HP). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1995–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £262,000 sits 104.7% above the 2002 sale of £128,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 49% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 1 Borstal Mews is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME1 3HP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Borstal Mews. 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 1 Borstal Mews was lodged in June 2015 at band E and expired in June 2025, 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 1 Borstal Mews. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME1 3HP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Borstal Mews 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.
