Overview

About 47 Wainscott Road

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

47 Wainscott Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wainscott, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4LA). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. Tenure is freehold. At 93 m² this is the 22nd smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 63–186 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 26 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 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. At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 9 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 is 31.1% above the 2008 sale price.
