Overview

About 15 London Road

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

15 London Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 3JA). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a G (score 8), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 3 certificates since November 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 53 m² this is the 12th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–148 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (8 versus a best of 74). Other recorded features include a basement.

At 53 m² the property is well over the postcode median (31 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2003–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 is 34.9% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£382/sq ft) was about 49.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 15 London Road is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 3JA. 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 15 London 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 15 London Road was lodged in November 2014 at band G and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 15 London 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 3JA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 London Road 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.
