Overview

About 20 Chelmsford Road

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

20 Chelmsford Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 2RY). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.

Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 74.8% above the 2008 sale of £139,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 28.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
