About 1 Oak Drive
1 Oak Drive is a semi-detached house in Hawkinge, Folkestone, Folkestone (CT18 7DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 sits 98% above the 2009 sale of £150,000. At 103 m² it's 19.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 4 EPCs).
