About 5 Maidstone Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Maidstone Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Gillingham (ME8 0DH). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 152 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 sits 54.8% above the 2012 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 23.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in May 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years.

Start your researchHow 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 5 Maidstone Road is modelled from its 152 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME8 0DH. 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 5 Maidstone Road. 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 5 Maidstone Road was lodged in September 2015 at band F and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Maidstone Road. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME8 0DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Maidstone Road 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.
