Overview

About 24 Povey Avenue

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

24 Povey Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wainscott, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 73 m² it's 18% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £372,000 is 26.1% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£375/sq ft) was about 41.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £295,000 in August 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
