Overview

About 1 Chapel Place Cottages

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

1 Chapel Place Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lenham Heath, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2BU). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £397,000 sits 80.5% above the 2007 sale of £220,000. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2008. Past consents include a garage conversion, 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 1 Chapel Place Cottages is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 2BU. 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 Chapel Place 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 Chapel Place Cottages was lodged in April 2012 at band D and expired in April 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to 1 Chapel Place 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 1 school and 8 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 2BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Chapel Place Cottages 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.
