How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Malt House Cottage is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 4EX. 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.

About 8 Malt House Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Malt House Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Boughton Aluph, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4EX). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 is 48.7% above the 2007 sale price.

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 Malt House Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
