Overview

About 43 Norah Lane

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

43 Norah Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Higham, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7EW). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 2002–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £441,000 is 42.3% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£253/sq ft) was about 17.4% below the postcode norm. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 43 Norah Lane is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 7EW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 43 Norah Lane. 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 43 Norah Lane was lodged in December 2011 at band D and expired in December 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 43 Norah Lane. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME3 7EW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
43 Norah Lane is in council tax band E. 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.
