Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Maidstone (ME14 1EY). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 543 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (24–50 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2024. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 is 14.4% above the 2019 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 15.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 1EY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 5 sales are recorded for Flat 1. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Flat 1 was lodged in March 2011 at band E and expired in March 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Flat 1. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 1EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 1 is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
