Overview

About 17 Downsberry Road

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

17 Downsberry Road is a detached house in Kingsnorth, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 7EW). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £326,000 sits 145.1% above the 2009 sale of £133,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 28.8% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

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 17 Downsberry Road is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 7EW. 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 17 Downsberry Road. 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 17 Downsberry Road was lodged in June 2013 at band D and expired in June 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 Downsberry Road. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 7EW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Downsberry Road is in council tax band D. 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.
