About 5 Palace Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Palace Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bromley (BR1 3JT). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. At 66 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 35 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–121 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a C (score 73). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 5 Palace Road is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BR1 3JT. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 5 Palace Road. 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 5 Palace Road was lodged in May 2013 at band C and expired in May 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Palace Road. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BR1 3JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Palace Road 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.
