Overview

About 5 Byron Road

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

5 Byron Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Penenden Heath, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 2HA). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). At 61 m² this is the 11th smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–169 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 31 units on file.

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 sits 64.6% above the 2007 sale of £130,000.
