Overview

About Medtha House

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

Medtha House is an end-of-terrace house in Isle Of Grain, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a G (score 8), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 3 certificates since February 2012. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 67 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in Medtha House, where floor areas span 56–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (8 versus a best of 65).

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 sits 78.8% above the 2008 sale of £80,000.
