Overview

About 2 Amelia Cottages

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

2 Amelia Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rainham, Gillingham, Gillingham (ME8 8QW). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1093 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in August 2000. 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 £532,000 sits 180% above the 2000 sale of £190,000. At 102 m² it sits well below the postcode median (182 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
