Overview

About 6 Birling Avenue

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

6 Birling Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Rainham, Gillingham, Gillingham (ME8 7HB). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1006 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 sits 54.8% above the 2009 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£268/sq ft) was about 15.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
