About 9 The Laxey
9 The Laxey is a detached house in Tovil, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 6FX). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 sits 368.9% above the 1997 sale of £88,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 59.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2006. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 98 m² it's 18.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 12 EPCs).
