Overview

About 4 St Marys Cottages

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

4 St Marys Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in St. Mary Hoo, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8RB). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 108 m² it's 24.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 6 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 St Marys Cottages is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 8RB. 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 4 St Marys Cottages. 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 4 St Marys Cottages was lodged in November 2012 at band F and expired in November 2022, 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. 2 applications are matched to 4 St Marys Cottages. 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 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME3 8RB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 St Marys Cottages 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.
