About Handen Farm
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Handen Farm is a detached house in Aldington, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 7DE). It has a recorded floor area of 304 m² (around 3272 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
Today's modelled estimate of £1,181,000 is 21.3% below the 2022 sale of £1,500,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£458/sq ft) was about 146.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 304 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, an annexe and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Most recent transfer: December 2022 at £1,500,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Handen Farm is modelled from its 304 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 7DE. 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 Handen Farm. 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 Handen Farm was lodged in March 2021 at band E and is valid until March 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to Handen Farm. 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 2 schools and 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 7DE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Handen Farm is in council tax band G. 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.
