About 5 Church Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Church Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cliffe, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Across 2004–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £266,000 sits 52% above the 2014 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£267/sq ft) was about 45.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 12 years ago, in December 2014.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Church Street is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 7PJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Church Street. 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 5 Church Street was lodged in July 2015 at band E and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Church Street. 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 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME3 7PJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Church Street 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.
