About 12 West Street
12 West Street is a mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 3XG). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2020. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 sits 111% above the 2008 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 25.8% below the postcode norm.
