Overview

About 7 Bull Lane

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

7 Bull Lane is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Higham, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7LT). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 696 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 sits 56.7% above the 2011 sale of £150,000. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2019. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 65 m² it's 19.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 22 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 15 years ago, in December 2011.

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 7 Bull Lane is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 7LT. 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 7 Bull 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 7 Bull Lane was lodged in June 2011 at band F and expired in June 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 7 Bull 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 2 schools and 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME3 7LT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Bull Lane is in council tax band C. 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.
