Overview

About Elsfield House

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

Elsfield House is a four-bedroom detached house in Hollingbourne, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1PA). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (25 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £518,000 sits 257.2% above the 1995 sale of £145,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Elsfield House is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 1PA. 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 Elsfield House. 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 Elsfield House was lodged in February 2011 at band E and expired in February 2021, 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 Elsfield House. 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 2 schools and 23 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 1PA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Elsfield House is in council tax band E. 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.
