Overview

About 3 Elford Road

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

3 Elford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cliffe, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7EF). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 711 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 1998 — that's 28 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 £344,000 sits 304.9% above the 1998 sale of £84,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 36.4% below the postcode norm.
