Overview

About Bottom Flat

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

Bottom Flat is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Strood, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4DF). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £197,000 sits 64.2% above the 2007 sale of £119,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 15.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
