How the estimate is made

The estimate for 15b is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 1BJ. 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.

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 £308,000 sits 413.3% 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.

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 15b is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 1BJ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 15b. 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 15b was lodged in June 2015 at band E and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 9 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 15b. 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 1BJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15b 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.
