Overview

About 3 Cauldham Lane

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

3 Cauldham Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Capel-Le-Ferne, Folkestone, Folkestone (CT18 7HG). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The property has an EV charger and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (104 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 is 13.5% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£491/sq ft) was about 149.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: September 2022 at £296,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.
