Overview

About 1 Elmwood Road

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

1 Elmwood Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chattenden, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8NB). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 1 Elmwood Road is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 8NB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Elmwood 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 1 Elmwood Road was lodged in August 2016 at band E and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Elmwood 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME3 8NB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Elmwood Road is in council tax band B. 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.
