Overview

About 8 Orchard Lane

8 Orchard Lane is a detached house in Challock, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4AD). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft) and council tax band C.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 sits 257.9% above the 2007 sale of £126,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 54.9% below the postcode norm.

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 8 Orchard Lane is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 4AD. 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 8 Orchard Lane. 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 8 Orchard Lane was lodged in July 2020 at band B and is valid until July 2030. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Orchard Lane. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 4AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Orchard Lane 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.
