How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 184 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 1LJ. 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.

Sales history & valuation
Every recorded sale of this home, how its price has moved, and what neighbouring properties have sold for.
1a has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
No sales recorded with HM Land Registry
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
Median price across the last 5 sales in ME2 1LJ: £215,000 (2025–2021).

About 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1a is a detached house in Cuxton, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1985 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 184 m² the property is well over the postcode median (62 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 184 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 1LJ. 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. No sale is recorded for 1a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 1a was lodged in August 2011 at band D and expired in August 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1a. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 1LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1a is in council tax band F. 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.
