Overview

About 2 Holmes Close

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

2 Holmes Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in High Halstow, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8RY). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 551 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2011) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 51 m² it's 25.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 15 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 sits 107.7% above the 2009 sale of £130,000.
