Overview

About 18 St Matthews Drive

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

18 St Matthews Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Bromley (BR1 2LH). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,054,000 is 26.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£500/sq ft) was about 38.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 18 St Matthews Drive is modelled from its 155 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BR1 2LH. 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 18 St Matthews Drive. 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 18 St Matthews Drive was lodged in April 2016 at band E and expired in April 2026, 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. 3 applications are matched to 18 St Matthews Drive. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BR1 2LH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 St Matthews Drive is in council tax band G. 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.
