Overview

About 7 Higham Road

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

7 Higham Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Cliffe, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7SH). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1178 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 109 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 2003–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £400,000 sits 66% above the 2012 sale of £241,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 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 7 Higham Road is modelled from its 109 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 7 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 7 Higham Road was lodged in September 2011 at band E and expired in September 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 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
7 Higham Road is in council tax band D. 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.
