22 Blythe Road, Maidstone, ME15 7TR

22 Blythe Road is a semi-detached house in Maidstone (ME15 7TR). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 1999 — that's 27 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. At 105 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (129 m² median across 15 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £427,000 sits 209.4% above the 1999 sale of £138,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 37.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
