Overview

About Ushant

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

Ushant is a three-bedroom detached house in Kingswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 3PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 103), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 99 m² it sits well below the postcode median (163 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2015–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £517,000 is 12.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£432/sq ft) was about 145.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: April 2021 at £460,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Ushant is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for Ushant. 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 Ushant was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Ushant. 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
Ushant 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.
