Overview

About 5 Birling Avenue

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

5 Birling Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 4AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 652 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £423,000 sits 78.1% above the 2009 sale of £237,500. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (123 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
