Overview

About 7 Benedict Close

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

7 Benedict Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Halling, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 74.2% above the 2013 sale of £182,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£278/sq ft) was about 33.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
