Overview

About 12 Higham Road

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

12 Higham Road is a semi-detached house in Cliffe, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7SH). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2003 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 23.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £372,000 sits 148% above the 2003 sale of £149,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 49.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2008. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 12 Higham Road is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 7SH. 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 12 Higham Road. 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 12 Higham Road was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, 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 12 Higham Road. 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 7SH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Higham Road 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.
