Overview

About Downsview

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

Downsview is a four-bedroom detached house in Brabourne Lees, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 6QP). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2018 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a corner plot.

It hasn't traded since July 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £593,000 sits 339.3% above the 1996 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 69.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Downsview is modelled from its 165 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 6QP. 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 Downsview. 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 Downsview was lodged in January 2019 at band E and is valid until January 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Downsview. 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 3 schools and 16 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 6QP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Downsview 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.
