Overview

About 18 Whatcote Cottages

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

18 Whatcote Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Platt, Sevenoaks, Sevenoaks (TN15 8JP). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 752 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 sits 63.7% above the 2009 sale of £212,000.
