Overview

About 3 The Grove

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

3 The Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 4JB). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1201 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Across 2003–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £547,000 sits 50.9% above the 2012 sale of £362,500. Last sold in January 2012, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).

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 3 The Grove is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 4JB. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 3 The Grove. 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 3 The Grove was lodged in October 2011 at band E and expired in October 2021, 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 3 The Grove. 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 4JB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 The Grove 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.
