Overview

About 5 Cross Street

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

5 Cross Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Maidstone (ME14 2SL). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since January 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 582.9% above the 1996 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 67.8% below the postcode norm.
