Overview

About 8 Adbert Drive

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

8 Adbert Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in East Farleigh, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 0DE). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Across 1998–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £432,000 sits 66.2% above the 2012 sale of £260,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 30.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 14 years since the last transfer (January 2012).
