Overview

About 15 Povey Avenue

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

15 Povey Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wainscott, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1027 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £341,000 sits 103% above the 2009 sale of £168,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 40.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, 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 15 Povey Avenue is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 4LZ. 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 15 Povey Avenue. 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 15 Povey Avenue was lodged in January 2009 at band F and expired in January 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 15 Povey Avenue. 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 4LZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 Povey Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
