5 Bedford Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Rainham, Gillingham, Gillingham (ME8 7EP). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2014. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since November 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £419,000 sits 179.3% above the 2005 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 53.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2006. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
