Overview

About Straete House

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

Straete House is a four-bedroom detached house in Aldington, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 7DE). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1629 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 151 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). Today's modelled estimate of £506,000 sits 66.4% above the 2009 sale of £304,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, 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 Straete House is modelled from its 151 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 Straete 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 Straete House was lodged in October 2008 at band E and expired in October 2018, 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. 1 application is matched to Straete 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 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
Straete 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.
