Overview

About 22 Birch Grove

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

22 Birch Grove is a semi-detached house in Hempstead, Gillingham, Gillingham (ME7 3RA). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 1999 — that's 27 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 £387,000 sits 268.6% above the 1999 sale of £105,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 60% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2005. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
