Overview

About 2 New Cottages

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

2 New Cottages is a semi-detached house in Sandling, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 3AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in July 2001. Today's modelled estimate of £477,000 sits 157.8% above the 2001 sale of £185,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
