Overview

About 18 Bayswater Drive

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

18 Bayswater Drive is a semi-detached house in Rainham, Gillingham, Gillingham (ME8 8TH). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -1.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 sits 77.6% above the 2009 sale of £205,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 Bayswater Drive is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME8 8TH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 18 Bayswater Drive. 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 18 Bayswater Drive was lodged in April 2009 at band D and expired in April 2019, 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. None is matched to 18 Bayswater Drive. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME8 8TH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Bayswater Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
