Overview

About 12 Ash Crescent

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

12 Ash Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Higham, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7BA). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 85 m² it's 19.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 27 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £411,000 is 21.8% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£369/sq ft) was about 33.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
