Overview

About Austen House

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

Austen House is a detached house in Challock, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4BL). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 971 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £507,000 sits 102.8% above the 2008 sale of £249,995. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 90 m² it's 29.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (128 m² median across 13 EPCs).

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 Austen House is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 4BL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Austen House. 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 Austen House was lodged in April 2009 at band D and expired in April 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. 5 applications are matched to Austen House. 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 4BL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Austen House is in council tax band F. 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.
