About 23 Barn Platt
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Barn Platt is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ashford (TN23 7UQ). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 55 m² this is the 7th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–86 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 is 46.4% above the 2007 sale price.

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 23 Barn Platt is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN23 7UQ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 23 Barn Platt. 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 23 Barn Platt was lodged in September 2019 at band C and is valid until September 2029. 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 23 Barn Platt. 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 7UQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 Barn Platt 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.
