Overview

About 20 Newbury Close

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

20 Newbury Close is a one-bedroom property in Cliffe Woods, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8HU). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 514 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 5th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–58 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 24 units on file. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 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 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 52.4% above the 2007 sale of £105,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 95.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 20 Newbury Close is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 8HU. 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 20 Newbury Close. 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 20 Newbury Close was lodged in December 2010 at band D and expired in December 2020, 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 20 Newbury Close. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME3 8HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
20 Newbury Close is in council tax band A. 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.
