How the estimate is made
The estimate for Abbey Gate Farm is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 0PP. 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.

About Abbey Gate Farm
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Abbey Gate Farm is a detached house in Maidstone (ME15 0PP). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1030 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 52). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 96 m² it sits well below the postcode median (183 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Abbey Gate Farm is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 0PP. 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. No sale is recorded for Abbey Gate Farm, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Abbey Gate Farm was lodged in January 2009 at band F and expired in January 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Abbey Gate Farm. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME15 0PP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Abbey Gate Farm 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.
