Overview

About Ringstead

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

Ringstead is a one-bedroom detached house in Harrietsham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2012 onwards. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2024 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 113), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 81 m² it sits well below the postcode median (152 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, an annexe and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£832/sq ft) was about 126.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Ringstead is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 1BS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Ringstead. 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 Ringstead was lodged in April 2024 at band D and is valid until April 2034. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Ringstead. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures

The 4 schools and 23 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 1BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
