About 14 Badgers Den
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 Badgers Den is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ashford (TN23 5LE). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 672 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2009) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from June 2009, 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 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 sits 66.9% above the 2009 sale of £159,950. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).

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 14 Badgers Den is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN23 5LE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 14 Badgers Den. 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 14 Badgers Den was lodged in June 2009 at band B and expired in June 2019, 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. None is matched to 14 Badgers Den. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN23 5LE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14 Badgers Den is in council tax band C. 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.
