7 The Laxey, Tovil, Maidstone, ME15 6FX

7 The Laxey is a four-bedroom detached house in Tovil, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 6FX). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a basement. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £417,000 sits 73.8% above the 2009 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 21.4% below the postcode norm.
