Overview

About 56 Wainscott Road

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

56 Wainscott Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wainscott, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4LB). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 36.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
