Overview

About Brambletye

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

Brambletye is a five-bedroom detached house in Kingswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 3PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1419 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since January 1998 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £620,000 sits 288.7% above the 1998 sale of £159,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£112/sq ft) was about 59.9% below the postcode norm. At 132 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (163 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.

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 Brambletye is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 3PZ. 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 Brambletye. 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 Brambletye was lodged in November 2009 at band E and expired in November 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. None is matched to Brambletye. 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 4 schools and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 3PZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Brambletye is in council tax band F. 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.
