About 5 Basing Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Basing Close is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Maidstone (ME15 7UZ). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 384 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 36 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (36–51 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 36 m² it's 25.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (48 m² median across 22 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2011–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 is 17.7% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£339/sq ft) was about 79.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 5 Basing Close is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 7UZ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Basing Close. 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 5 Basing Close was lodged in November 2010 at band D and expired in November 2020, 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. None is matched to 5 Basing Close. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME15 7UZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Basing Close is in council tax band B. 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.
