About 15 Florence Street
15 Florence Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 4SX). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 82% above the 2007 sale of £133,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 29.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
