Flat, 38 Canterbury Street, Gillingham, ME7 5TX
About Flat
Flat is a mid-terrace house in Gillingham (ME7 5TX). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 64 m² this is the 7th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–84 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 8 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).
It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 64 m² the property is well over the postcode median (40 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 sits 58% above the 2008 sale of £100,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
