About 17 Oak Tree Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Oak Tree Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bromley (BR1 5BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 940 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 sits 100.4% above the 2009 sale of £262,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 33.3% below the postcode norm. At 87 m² it's 16.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (105 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2010.

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 17 Oak Tree Gardens is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BR1 5BQ. 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 17 Oak Tree Gardens. 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 17 Oak Tree Gardens was lodged in January 2009 at band E and expired in January 2019, 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 17 Oak Tree Gardens. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BR1 5BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Oak Tree Gardens is in council tax band E. 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.
