Overview

About Hedgehogs Niche

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

Hedgehogs Niche is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cliffe, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7SS). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £380,000 sits 85.4% above the 2007 sale of £205,000.

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 Hedgehogs Niche is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 7SS. 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 Hedgehogs Niche. 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 Hedgehogs Niche was lodged in February 2014 at band C and expired in February 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. None is matched to Hedgehogs Niche. 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 7SS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Hedgehogs Niche 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.
