Overview

About 12 Caring Lane

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

12 Caring Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 4NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2018. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since May 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £752,000 sits 223.4% above the 1998 sale of £232,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 59.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 166 m² it's 23.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (134 m² median across 14 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 12 Caring Lane is modelled from its 166 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 4NJ. 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 12 Caring Lane. 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 12 Caring Lane was lodged in January 2026 at band D and is valid until January 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. 1 application is matched to 12 Caring Lane. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 4NJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Caring Lane is in council tax band A. 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.
