5 Briar Close, Gillingham, SP8 4SS

5 Briar Close is a detached house in Gillingham (SP8 4SS). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2014) 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 May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £432,000 sits 209.7% above the 1999 sale of £139,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 46.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 118 m² it's 18.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (144 m² median across 16 EPCs).
