About 408a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
408a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bromley (BR1 5HR). It has a recorded floor area of 22 m² (around 237 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). At 22 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 17–131 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 20 units on file.
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 92.9% above the 2007 sale of £113,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£477/sq ft) was about 258.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 22 m² it sits well below the postcode median (74 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 408a is modelled from its 22 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BR1 5HR. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 408a. 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 408a was lodged in September 2020 at band D and is valid until September 2030. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 408a. 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 5HR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 408a is in council tax band B. 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.
