Overview

About 5 Aveling Close

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

5 Aveling Close is a semi-detached house in Hoo, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 9BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 493.6% above the 1997 sale of £47,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 69.4% below the postcode norm.
