About 5b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5b is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ashford (TN23 1RF). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (31–154 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 20 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2023) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in January 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

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 5b is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN23 1RF. 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 5b. 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 5b was lodged in August 2023 at band D and is valid until August 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5b. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN23 1RF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5b is in council tax band A. 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.
