About Grenofen
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Grenofen is a four-bedroom detached house in Loose, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 9RG). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 175 m² it's 27.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (137 m² median across 10 EPCs). Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across 2007–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £787,000 is 12.3% above the 2016 sale price. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2008.
