How the estimate is made
The estimate for 53 Bond Road is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME8 9JJ. 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.

About 53 Bond Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 16th smallest of 30 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 is 13.5% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 34.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 53 Bond Road is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME8 9JJ. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 53 Bond Road. 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 53 Bond Road was lodged in June 2013 at band E and expired in June 2023, 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 53 Bond Road. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME8 9JJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 53 Bond Road is in council tax band B. 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.
