About Flat 5
Flat 5 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Shortlands, Bromley, Bromley (BR2 0AA). 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. At 77 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 68–121 m². The latest certificate (December 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home.
It hasn't traded since July 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 77 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 324.2% above the 1998 sale of £82,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 59.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2012.
