Overview

About 31 Chaucer Road

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

31 Chaucer Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Gillingham (ME7 5LX). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 sits 182% above the 2008 sale of £97,517. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 35.8% below the postcode norm. At 94 m² it's 26.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 32 EPCs).
