Overview

About 7 Church Square

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

7 Church Square is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lenham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 42). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £397,000 is 24.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£691/sq ft) was about 206.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 7 Church Square is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 2PJ. 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 7 Church Square. 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 7 Church Square was lodged in August 2009 at band F and expired in August 2019, 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 7 Church Square. 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 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 2PJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Church Square 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.
