Overview

About Northdown

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

Northdown is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 4EF). It has a recorded floor area of 221 m² (around 2379 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in September 2021 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 221 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 10 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £1,046,000 is 29.1% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£341/sq ft) was about 54.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £810,000 in April 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Northdown is modelled from its 221 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 4EF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Northdown. 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 Northdown was lodged in July 2026 at band C and is valid until July 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 10 applications are matched to Northdown. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 4EF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Northdown is in council tax band G. 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.
