How the estimate is made

The estimate for Fountains is modelled from its 241 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 3RA. 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.

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

Fountains is a semi-detached house in Chart Sutton, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 3RA). It has a recorded floor area of 241 m² (around 2594 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Fountains is modelled from its 241 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 3RA. 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. No sale is recorded for Fountains, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Fountains was lodged in April 2015 at band E and expired in April 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to Fountains. 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 2 schools and 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 3RA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
