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.
