Overview

About 3 Heatherwood Close

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

3 Heatherwood Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kingswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 3QW). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 907 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2008) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 84 m² it's 24.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 4 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 sits 103.6% above the 2008 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 46.3% below the postcode norm.

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 3 Heatherwood Close is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 3QW. 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 3 Heatherwood Close. 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 3 Heatherwood Close was lodged in September 2008 at band F and expired in September 2018, 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 3 Heatherwood Close. 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 22 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 3QW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Heatherwood Close 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.
