About Flat 4
Flat 4 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 3JA). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (20–39 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 4 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 39 m² it's 25.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (31 m² median across 14 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 35.8% above the 2007 sale price.
