Overview

About 18 Vicarage Close

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

18 Vicarage Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Halling, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in October 2006. Across 1996–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 sits 62.4% above the 2006 sale of £205,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, a porch, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 83 m² it's 17% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 38 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 Vicarage Close is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 1BH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 18 Vicarage Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 18 Vicarage Close was lodged in December 2014 at band D and expired in December 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18 Vicarage Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 1BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Vicarage Close is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
