Overview

About 13 Kings Acre

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

13 Kings Acre is a four-bedroom detached house in Downswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8UP). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1165 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £402,000 sits 71.1% above the 2009 sale of £235,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
