Overview

About 1 Bythorne Court

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

1 Bythorne Court is a four-bedroom detached house in Rainham, Gillingham, Gillingham (ME8 8TN). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £529,000 sits 90.3% above the 2007 sale of £278,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 23.4% below the postcode norm. At 140 m² it's 19.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 5 EPCs).

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 1 Bythorne Court is modelled from its 140 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME8 8TN. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Bythorne Court. 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 1 Bythorne Court was lodged in January 2020 at band C and is valid until January 2030. 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 1 Bythorne Court. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME8 8TN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Bythorne Court 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.
