Overview

About 38 Amherst Road

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

38 Amherst Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Sevenoaks (TN13 3LS). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Across 2014–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£641/sq ft) was about 70% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £862,500 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
