About 16 Greenbanks
16 Greenbanks is a two-bedroom detached house in Lyminge, Folkestone, Folkestone (CT18 8HG). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2023) returns an A (score 100), the top energy band on the EPC scale. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Today's modelled estimate of £405,000 sits 131.4% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 19.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, a porch, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
