Overview

About 38 New Road

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

38 New Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sheerness (ME12 1BW). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 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 89).

It hasn't traded since February 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 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £191,000 sits 61.9% above the 2007 sale of £118,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs).
