Overview

About Orchard Lodge

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

Orchard Lodge is a two-bedroom detached house in Minster On Sea, Sheerness, Sheerness (ME12 3RU). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in January 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £493,000 sits 181.7% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
