About 10 Highwood Close
10 Highwood Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Higham, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 354.1% above the 1997 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 54.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
