About 7 Cottage Avenue
7 Cottage Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bromley (BR2 8LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 20.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 sits 85.2% above the 2007 sale of £249,950.
