Overview

About 13a

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

13a is a four-bedroom detached house in Upnor, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4XR). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2024) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in May 2024 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 130 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £450,000 sits 260% above the 2007 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 58.9% below the postcode norm.
