Local market context
Apartment 5 is a two-bedroom detached house in Ashford (TN23 1QP). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 66 m² this is the 6th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–82 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 66 m² it's 21.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 8 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 is 18.4% above the 2007 sale price.
