Overview

About 1a

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

1a is a three-bedroom detached house in Ashford (TN24 8BD). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1020 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 90.3% above the 2009 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 18.8% below the postcode norm. At 95 m² it's 29.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 13 EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2005.

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 1a is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN24 8BD. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 1a. 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 1a was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1a. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN24 8BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1a is in council tax band D. 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.
