How the estimate is made

The estimate for 39a is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale 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.

Every recorded sale of this home, how its price has moved, and what neighbouring properties have sold for.

No sales recorded with HM Land Registry

That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.

Median price across the last 5 sales in ME14 4JB: £593,500 (2026–2023).

Overview

About 39a

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

39a is a semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 4JB). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 39a is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale 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. No sale is recorded for 39a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 39a was lodged in August 2016 at band E and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 39a. 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
39a 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.
