About 1 Bootham Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Bootham Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rochester (ME2 2PG). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since May 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 119 m² it's 29.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 sits 97.6% above the 2010 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 31.8% below the postcode norm.

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 1 Bootham Close is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 2PG. 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 1 Bootham Close. 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 1 Bootham Close was lodged in September 2015 at band E and expired in September 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 1 Bootham Close. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 2PG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Bootham Close is in council tax band C. 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.
