About 7 Essex Road

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

7 Essex Road is a semi-detached house in Halling, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
