About 5c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5c is a mid-terrace house in Ashford (TN23 1RF). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 38 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–154 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 20 units on file.
At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (104 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 12 years ago, in December 2014. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2001. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2001–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 31.6% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£240/sq ft) was about 64.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 5c is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales 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. 4 sales are recorded for 5c. 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 5c was lodged in September 2014 at band E and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5c. 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
- 5c 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.
