About 5 Albatross Avenue
5 Albatross Avenue is a semi-detached house in Rochester (ME2 2XL). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 88% above the 2008 sale of £167,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 15.9% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
