About 6 Austin Avenue
6 Austin Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Bromley (BR2 8AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 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. Today's modelled estimate of £767,000 sits 303.7% above the 1998 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 38.7% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
