Overview

About 17 Church Close

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

17 Church Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cliffe, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7UT). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £338,000 sits 98.8% above the 2009 sale of £170,000.
