About School House

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

School House is a detached house in Bromley (BR2 0RX). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £556,000 sits 85.3% above the 2008 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£313/sq ft) was about 35.4% below the postcode norm. At 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (159 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
