About 12 Abbotts Way
12 Abbotts Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Gillingham (SP8 4BS). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 99 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £217,000 sits 210% above the 2016 sale of £70,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in January 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.
