About 31 Salts Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
31 Salts Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Loose, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91). The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £597,000 sits 55.1% above the 2012 sale of £385,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£322/sq ft) was about 22.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 111 m² it's 17.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (134 m² median across 19 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs). Last sold in December 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 31 Salts Avenue is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 0AZ. 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 31 Salts Avenue. 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 Salts Avenue was lodged in November 2013 at band C and expired in November 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 31 Salts Avenue. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME15 0AZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 31 Salts Avenue is in council tax band F. 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.
