Overview

About 97 Chatham Road

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

97 Chatham Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandling, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 3BB). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1054 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 75.5% above the 2009 sale of £220,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
