Overview

About 12 Bettescombe Road

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

12 Bettescombe Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rainham, Gillingham, Gillingham (ME8 9AU). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £411,000 is 38.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 35.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in April 2016. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
