Overview

About 17 Benenden Road

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

17 Benenden Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wainscott, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4NU). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 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. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 89.1% above the 2009 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 32.3% below the postcode norm.
