Overview

About Pickthatch

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

Pickthatch is a three-bedroom detached house in Loose, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 9RG). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1228 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

At 114 m² it sits well below the postcode median (168 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in September 2012. Today's modelled estimate of £581,000 is 38.3% above the 2012 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Pickthatch is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 9RG. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Pickthatch. 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 Pickthatch was lodged in March 2012 at band E and expired in March 2022, 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. 2 applications are matched to Pickthatch. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME15 9RG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Pickthatch is in council tax band F. 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.
