Overview

About 85a

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

85a is an end-of-terrace house in Gillingham (ME7 5QN). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 43 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (43–127 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 20 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 is 15.9% below the 2023 sale of £185,500, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£401/sq ft) was about 281.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (77 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold March 2023 for £185,500.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 85a is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME7 5QN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 85a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 85a was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 85a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME7 5QN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
