1b, Cowper Road, Gillingham, ME7 5NA
About 1b
1b is a semi-detached house in Gillingham (ME7 5NA). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 1998 — that's 28 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 £246,000 sits 407.2% above the 1998 sale of £48,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 63.5% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
