Overview

About 238 Main Road

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

238 Main Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Hoo, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 9HG). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

At 156 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £580,000 sits 56.3% above the 2013 sale of £371,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 238 Main Road is modelled from its 156 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 9HG. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 238 Main 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 238 Main Road was lodged in February 2013 at band C and expired in February 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 238 Main 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME3 9HG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
238 Main Road is in council tax band E. 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.
