About 7 Goring Place

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

7 Goring Place is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Maidstone (ME14 1FJ). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. At 47 m² this is the 5th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–62 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (63 versus a best of 81). Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).

Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for 7 Goring Place is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 1FJ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 7 Goring Place. 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 7 Goring Place was lodged in October 2023 at band D and is valid until October 2033. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records: Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7 Goring Place. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 1FJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: 7 Goring Place is in council tax band C. 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.
