Overview

About 14 Gorham Drive

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

14 Gorham Drive is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Downswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8UU). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 590 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 67.5% above the 2008 sale of £178,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£303/sq ft) was about 15.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
