Overview

About 5 Chapter Road

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

5 Chapter Road is a semi-detached house in Rochester (ME2 3PX). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2003–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 81.8% above the 2006 sale of £192,500. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2024. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
