Overview

About 14 Lapwing Road

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

14 Lapwing Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Isle Of Grain, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 0EB). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 104 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 sits 344.4% above the 1997 sale of £67,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 57.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 14 Lapwing Road is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 0EB. 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 14 Lapwing Road. 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 14 Lapwing Road was lodged in March 2023 at band E and is valid until March 2033. 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 14 Lapwing Road. 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 0EB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
14 Lapwing Road is in council tax band C. 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.
