Local market context
Medtha House is a mid-terrace house in Isle Of Grain, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2026) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was G, the property has climbed 5 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 65 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in Medtha House, where floor areas span 53–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top.
Held since February 2008 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £153,000 sits 91.3% above the 2008 sale of £80,000.
Medtha House's carbon output is low for the local stock.
