How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Elmtree is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN26 2DL. 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 1 Elmtree
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Elmtree is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Appledore, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 2DL). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £311,000 sits 70.4% above the 2009 sale of £182,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 34.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Elmtree is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN26 2DL. 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 1 Elmtree. 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 1 Elmtree was lodged in August 2024 at band E and is valid until August 2034. 3 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 1 Elmtree. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from TN26 2DL. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Elmtree is in council tax band C. 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.
