Overview

About 8 Heathfield Avenue

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

8 Heathfield Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Penenden Heath, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 2DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2012–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£530/sq ft) was about 73% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2022 for £485,000.

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 8 Heathfield Avenue is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 2DQ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 Heathfield Avenue. 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 8 Heathfield Avenue was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Heathfield Avenue. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 2DQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Heathfield Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
