Overview

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.

Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 sits 106.3% 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.
