Overview

About 256 Hythe Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

256 Hythe Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Willesborough, Ashford, Ashford (TN24 0QR). It has a recorded floor area of 232 m² (around 2497 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since.

The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 256 Hythe Road is modelled from its 232 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN24 0QR. 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 256 Hythe Road. 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 256 Hythe Road was lodged in July 2012 at band E and expired in July 2022, 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 256 Hythe Road. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN24 0QR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
256 Hythe Road 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.
