About 3 Cecil Avenue
3 Cecil Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 3EA). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91). The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 sits 112% above the 2007 sale of £125,000.
