Overview

About The Oast House

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

The Oast House is a six-bedroom detached house in Loose, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 0BD). It has a recorded floor area of 246 m² (around 2648 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 246 m² the property is well over the postcode median (130 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 8 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. 9 years since the last transfer (March 2017). Today's modelled estimate of £1,047,000 is 23.2% above the 2017 sale price.

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 The Oast House is modelled from its 246 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 0BD. 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 The Oast House. 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 The Oast House was lodged in January 2013 at band E and expired in January 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. 8 applications are matched to The Oast House. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME15 0BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Oast House 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.
