Overview

About 9 Birch Grove

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

9 Birch Grove is a semi-detached house in Hempstead, Gillingham, Gillingham (ME7 3RA). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £372,000 sits 69.1% above the 2008 sale of £220,000.
