About 38 Ashmead Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Ashmead Close is a semi-detached house in Chatham (ME5 8NY). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 sits 103.4% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 35.3% below the postcode norm. At 111 m² it's 18.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (94 m² median across 11 EPCs).
