Overview

About 3 Marshside Cottages

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

3 Marshside Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ruckinge, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 2PB). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 sits 58.4% above the 2007 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 20.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Marshside Cottages is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN26 2PB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 3 Marshside Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Marshside Cottages. 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. The 1 school and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN26 2PB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Marshside Cottages 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.
