Overview

About 3 Dombey Close

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

3 Dombey Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Higham, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7AE). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 794 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. 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 £311,000 sits 80.8% above the 2007 sale of £172,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 17.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
