Overview

About Merrymead

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

Merrymead is a semi-detached house in West Farleigh, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 0NL). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2021. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 is 21.1% below the 2022 sale of £380,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£579/sq ft) was about 32.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £380,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Merrymead is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 0NL. 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 Merrymead. 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 Merrymead was lodged in November 2023 at band D and is valid until November 2033. 3 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 Merrymead. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME15 0NL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Merrymead is in council tax band D. 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.
