Overview

About 9 Harlech Close

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

9 Harlech Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Strood, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 3QP). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 1996, 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 £609,000 sits 291% above the 1996 sale of £155,750. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2017. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
