About 17a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17a is an end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 3BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 406 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a G (score 10), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 25). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2007–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.8% per year.

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 17a is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 3BQ. 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 17a. 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 17a was lodged in March 2010 at band G and expired in March 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 17a. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 3BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17a 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.
