Overview

About 13 Downs Road

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

13 Downs Road is a semi-detached house in Penenden Heath, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 2JL). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £444,000 sits 55.8% above the 2007 sale of £285,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
