About Pickthatch
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 £548,000 is 30.5% above the 2012 sale price.
