Flat 1, 26 Bank Street, Ashford, TN23 1BE
About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ashford (TN23 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 44 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–44 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 65). The latest certificate (November 2023) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 is 21.8% above the 2008 sale price.
