Overview

About 31 Ashford Road

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

31 Ashford Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 4BP). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 106 m² it's 17.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (129 m² median across 15 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £535,000 is 42.7% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£329/sq ft) was about 72.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 31 Ashford Road is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 4BP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 31 Ashford Road. 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 31 Ashford Road was lodged in December 2013 at band C and expired in December 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 31 Ashford Road. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 4BP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
31 Ashford Road 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.
