5 Merryfields, Strood, Rochester, ME2 3ND

5 Merryfields is a four-bedroom detached house in Strood, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 3ND). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1857 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 172 m² the property is well over the postcode median (119 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £638,000 sits 102.5% above the 2009 sale of £315,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 17% below the postcode norm.
