Overview

About 5 Country Ways

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

5 Country Ways is a four-bedroom detached house in Lenham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2JF). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2014. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 136 m² it's 24.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (180 m² median across 4 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £670,000 sits 71.6% above the 2008 sale of £390,500.

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 5 Country Ways is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 2JF. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Country Ways. 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 5 Country Ways was lodged in June 2014 at band C and expired in June 2024, 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. None is matched to 5 Country Ways. 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 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 2JF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Country Ways is in council tax band G. 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.
