Overview

About 2 Harpswood

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

2 Harpswood is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hollingbourne, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1QG). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since December 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £405,000 sits 97.6% above the 2003 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 61.3% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 161 m² it's 17.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (137 m² median across 3 EPCs).

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 2 Harpswood is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 1QG. 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 2 Harpswood. 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 2 Harpswood was lodged in September 2015 at band F and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 2 Harpswood. 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 3 schools and 24 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 1QG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Harpswood is in council tax band C. 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.
