About 70 Charles Drive

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

70 Charles Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cuxton, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1DT). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1149 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £366,000 sits 62.7% above the 2009 sale of £225,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
