About 73b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
73b is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Rochester (ME2 2BU). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 421 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 39 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–130 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 22 years, with the last transfer in November 2004. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (69 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 is 31.1% above the 2004 sale price.

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 73b is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 2BU. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 73b. 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 73b was lodged in July 2010 at band D and expired in July 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 73b. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 2BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
