Overview

About 1 The Poplars

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

1 The Poplars is a two-bedroom detached house in Bethersden, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 3DA). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it B (May 2015); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

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 1 The Poplars is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN26 3DA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 The Poplars. 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 The Poplars was lodged in September 2015 at band E and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 1 The Poplars. 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 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN26 3DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 The Poplars 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.
