Overview

About 21 Northdown Close

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

21 Northdown Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Penenden Heath, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 2ER). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £499,000 is 38.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£345/sq ft) was about 17.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
