About 8 Cliffe Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Cliffe Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 3DY). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 845 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 sits 236.9% above the 2001 sale of £84,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 26.1% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Cliffe Road is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 3DY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Cliffe Road. 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 Cliffe Road was lodged in November 2010 at band E and expired in November 2020, 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 8 Cliffe Road. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 3DY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Cliffe Road 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.
