Overview

About 8 Lake Avenue

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

8 Lake Avenue is a five-bedroom detached house in Bromley (BR1 4EN). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2110 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump.

Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 196 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £989,000 sits 70.5% above the 2007 sale of £580,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£275/sq ft) was about 33.1% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

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 8 Lake Avenue is modelled from its 196 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BR1 4EN. 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 8 Lake Avenue. 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 8 Lake Avenue was lodged in July 2024 at band E and is valid until July 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 8 Lake Avenue. 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 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BR1 4EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Lake Avenue 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.
