About 10 Chilham House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 Chilham House is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 4QE). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 65 m² this is the 11th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 10 Chilham House is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 4QE. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 10 Chilham House. 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 10 Chilham House was lodged in November 2013 at band C and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 10 Chilham House. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 4QE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 10 Chilham House is in council tax band B. 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.
