Overview

About 20 Chester Road

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

20 Chester Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Gillingham (ME7 4AF). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1477 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 50). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 137 m² it's 24.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 26 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2007–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 sits 72.4% above the 2011 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£115/sq ft) was about 15.6% below the postcode norm.
