How the estimate is made
The estimate for 47 Cotton Hill is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BR1 5RT. 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.

About 47 Cotton Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
47 Cotton Hill is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bromley (BR1 5RT). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £510,000 sits 87.2% above the 2007 sale of £272,500.

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 47 Cotton Hill is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BR1 5RT. 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 47 Cotton Hill. 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 47 Cotton Hill was lodged in April 2013 at band E and expired in April 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 47 Cotton Hill. 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 49 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BR1 5RT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 47 Cotton Hill 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.
