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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Birling Avenue is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 4AJ. 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 Birling Avenue. 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 Birling Avenue was lodged in October 2008 at band D and expired in October 2018, 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. None is matched to 5 Birling Avenue. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 4AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Birling Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
