About 12 High Street
12 High Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Upnor, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4XG). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 87 m² it's 15.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 18 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across 2009–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 is 43.1% above the 2013 sale price.
