Overview

About 49a

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

49a is a mid-terrace house in Gillingham (ME7 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). At 58 m² this is the 7th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–73 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 10 units on file.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£408/sq ft) was about 157.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
