About 20 Durham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Durham Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Gillingham (ME8 0JW). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 992 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 1995 — that's 31 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 £406,000 sits 420.5% above the 1995 sale of £78,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 69% below the postcode norm. At 92 m² it sits well below the postcode median (134 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: partial demolition approved in 2009. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 20 Durham Road is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME8 0JW. 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 20 Durham Road. 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 20 Durham Road was lodged in July 2011 at band E and expired in July 2021, 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. 1 application is matched to 20 Durham Road. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME8 0JW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Durham Road is in council tax band E. 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.
