About 1 Chester Road

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

1 Chester Road is an end-of-terrace house in Gillingham (ME7 4AF). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.

Across 1995–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 is 16.1% below the 2022 sale of £355,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£297/sq ft) was about 122.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £355,000 in September 2022.
