Overview

About Orchard House

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

Orchard House is a detached house in Gillingham (SP8 4EP). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £454,000 is 21.7% below the 2020 sale of £580,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£605/sq ft) was about 89.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (149 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Most recent transfer: May 2020 at £580,000.
