About 1 Stanley Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Stanley Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leeds, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1RL). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1054 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Stanley Cottages is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 1RL. 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 1 Stanley Cottages. 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 1 Stanley Cottages was lodged in September 2011 at band E and expired in September 2021, 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. 4 applications are matched to 1 Stanley Cottages. 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 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 1RL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Stanley Cottages is in council tax band D. 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.
