About 5 Holly Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Holly Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Penenden Heath, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 2RG). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion, a porch and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £631,000 is 40.2% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£319/sq ft) was about 39.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Holly Gardens is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 2RG. 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 5 Holly Gardens. 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 5 Holly Gardens was lodged in May 2014 at band C and expired in May 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 5 Holly Gardens. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 2RG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Holly Gardens is in council tax band F. 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.
