Local knowledge

Ashford, one of Kent’s fastest-growing towns.

Ashford has grown fast around its historic centre and high-speed rail link, so its homes range from Victorian terraces near the town centre and large post-war estates to new developments at Finberry and Chilmington Green.

Beyond the town are villages such as Wye, Charing, Great Chart and Hamstreet, with older cottages and homes off the gas network.

Ashford’s homes

What we see in Ashford, and what it means for your rating.

New-build homes

New-build EPCs last ten years; many 2010s homes now need a new one to sell or let.

Victorian terraces

Solid walls and thin lofts near the centre; loft and controls first.

Post-war estates

Cavity walls that may or may not be filled – we check rather than assume.

Village homes

Older, sometimes off-gas homes where heating type matters a lot.

Questions

EPCs in Ashford, answered.

How quickly can you visit in Ashford?

We call back within minutes during office hours to arrange a visit at a time that suits you, and we lodge your EPC on the register the same day as the assessment.

My new-build EPC is almost ten years old. Do I need a new one?

If you plan to sell or let, yes: the EPC must be valid when the property is marketed. A new assessment also picks up any changes since the home was built.

Which areas around Ashford do you cover?

Ashford, Kennington, Willesborough, Kingsnorth, Finberry, Chilmington Green, Great Chart, Wye, Charing and Hamstreet.

How long does an EPC last?

Ten years. If you have made improvements since your last EPC, a new assessment can show a better rating. Our guide to improving your EPC explains what makes a difference.
