About 8 Curlew Crescent
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Curlew Crescent is a semi-detached house in Rochester (ME2 2RF). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. At 59 m² this is the 6th smallest of 35 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–304 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 35 units on file.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 sits 52.8% above the 2007 sale of £108,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 16.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 59 m² it's 26.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 34 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.

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 8 Curlew Crescent is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 2RF. 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 8 Curlew Crescent. 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 8 Curlew Crescent was lodged in May 2022 at band C and is valid until May 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Curlew Crescent. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 2RF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Curlew Crescent is in council tax band A. 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.
