Overview

About 12 Bell Way

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

12 Bell Way is a two-bedroom detached house in Kingswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 3QH). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 1997–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £346,000 sits 55.9% above the 2014 sale of £222,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. At 62 m² it's 15.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 19 EPCs).

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 12 Bell Way is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 3QH. 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 12 Bell Way. 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 12 Bell Way was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, 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. 3 applications are matched to 12 Bell Way. 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 22 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 3QH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Bell Way 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.
