Overview

About 19 May Street

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

19 May Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cuxton, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1LR). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £251,000 sits 141.3% above the 2009 sale of £104,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 28.1% below the postcode norm.

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 19 May Street is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 1LR. 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 19 May Street. 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 19 May Street was lodged in July 2019 at band D and is valid until July 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 19 May Street. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 1LR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
19 May Street is in council tax band B. 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.
