Local market context
2 Fermor Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Grafty Green, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2AN). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on house coal.
3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a conservatory, an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 86 m² it's 18.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 22 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2017–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£340/sq ft) was about 23.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: March 2022 at £315,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
