Overview

About 12 St James Close

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

12 St James Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Isle Of Grain, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 0BX). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1019 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

It hasn't traded since January 2011, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 sits 115.7% above the 2011 sale of £115,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 95 m² it's 18.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 13 EPCs).

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 12 St James Close is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 0BX. 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 12 St James Close. 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 12 St James Close was lodged in October 2010 at band C and expired in October 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to 12 St James Close. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME3 0BX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 St James Close 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.
