Overview

About Kitsilano

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

Kitsilano is a three-bedroom detached house in Grafty Green, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2AN). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2022) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £376,000 sits 54.7% above the 2009 sale of £243,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 81 m² it's 23.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 22 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 Kitsilano is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 2AN. 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 Kitsilano. 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 Kitsilano was lodged in June 2022 at band E and is valid until June 2032. 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 Kitsilano. 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 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 2AN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Kitsilano 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.
