About 4 Elmtree
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Elmtree is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Appledore, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 2DL). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 is 23.6% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£293/sq ft) was about 22.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £302,500 in August 2020.

Start your researchHow 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 4 Elmtree is modelled from its 96 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 4 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 4 Elmtree was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 2024, 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. 3 applications are matched to 4 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
- 4 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.
