Overview

About 8 Mercer Drive

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

8 Mercer Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Harrietsham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Most recent transfer: February 2021 at £532,500. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £656,000 is 23.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£399/sq ft) was about 32.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
