About 47a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
47a is an end-of-terrace house in Gillingham (ME7 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 is 76.2% below the 2019 sale of £500,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,222/sq ft) was about 331.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (58 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Sold July 2019 for £500,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 47a is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME7 1BQ. 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 47a. 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 47a was lodged in September 2019 at band G and is valid until September 2029. 2 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 47a. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME7 1BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 47a is in council tax band A. 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.
