About 53 Bond Road
53 Bond Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Gillingham (ME8 9JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 65 m² this is the 15th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–133 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Most recent transfer: November 2021 at £174,500. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
