Overview

About 15b

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

15b is a semi-detached house in Halling, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in August 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 sits 431.7% above the 1996 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 49.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
