Overview

About 5 Benbury Close

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

5 Benbury Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bromley (BR1 4LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £516,000 is 49.1% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£440/sq ft) was about 60.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. At 73 m² it's 19.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (91 m² median across 7 EPCs). One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2004.

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 5 Benbury Close is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BR1 4LJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Benbury Close. 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 Benbury Close was lodged in July 2013 at band E and expired in July 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. 1 application is matched to 5 Benbury Close. 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 45 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BR1 4LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Benbury Close 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.
