About 2b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2b is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Gillingham (ME8 0DH). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since June 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 49.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 is 32.5% above the 2005 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£572/sq ft) was about 210.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 2b is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME8 0DH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 2b. 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 2b was lodged in February 2019 at band D and is valid until February 2029. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2b. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME8 0DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2b is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
