Overview

About 18 High Street

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

18 High Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Upnor, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4XG). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). On the market in August 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 is 34.9% above the 2016 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 High Street is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME2 4XG. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 18 High Street. 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 18 High Street was lodged in June 2015 at band G and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 18 High Street. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME2 4XG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 High Street 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.
