How the estimate is made

The estimate for 13a is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 4LN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

Overview

About 13a

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

13a is a four-bedroom detached house in Wainscott, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4LN). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 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 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 sits 78.2% above the 2007 sale of £239,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 32.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2006. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 13a is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 4LN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 13a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 13a was lodged in April 2019 at band C and is valid until April 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 13a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 4LN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
13a is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
