Overview

About 14 Bell Way

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

14 Bell Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Kingswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 3QH). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2110 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 196 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £562,000 sits 66.8% above the 2009 sale of £337,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 52% below the postcode norm.

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 14 Bell Way is modelled from its 196 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 14 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 14 Bell Way was lodged in February 2020 at band D and is valid until February 2030. 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 14 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
14 Bell Way 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.
