Overview

About 8 Cambridge Road

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

8 Cambridge Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Rochester (ME2 3HW). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since January 1997, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £280,000 sits 656.8% above the 1997 sale of £37,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 74.9% below the postcode norm.
