How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7a is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 2BT. 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.

About 7a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7a is an end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 2BT). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1999–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 sits 187.7% above the 2003 sale of £65,000.

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 7a is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 2BT. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 7a. 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 7a was lodged in April 2015 at band E and expired in April 2025, 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. None is matched to 7a. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 2BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
