About 41 Birch Tree Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
41 Birch Tree Way is a semi-detached house in Maidstone (ME15 7RP). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2000 — that's 26 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 £320,000 sits 221.6% above the 2000 sale of £99,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 56.3% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs).

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 41 Birch Tree Way is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 7RP. 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 41 Birch Tree Way. 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 41 Birch Tree Way was lodged in July 2014 at band C and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 41 Birch Tree Way. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME15 7RP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 41 Birch Tree Way 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.
