Overview

About 21 Cecil Avenue

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

21 Cecil Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 3EA). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 404.3% above the 2001 sale of £46,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£47/sq ft) was about 65.9% below the postcode norm. At 91 m² it's 19.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 30 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 21 Cecil Avenue is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 3EA. 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 21 Cecil Avenue. 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 21 Cecil Avenue was lodged in August 2014 at band E and expired in August 2024, 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 21 Cecil Avenue. 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 3EA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21 Cecil Avenue is in council tax band B. 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.
