Overview

About 5 Fir Tree Grove

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

5 Fir Tree Grove is a detached house in Bredhurst, Gillingham, Gillingham (ME7 3LB). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £623,000 sits 114.8% above the 2004 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£180/sq ft) was about 19.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2004. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
