174a, Upper Elmers End Road, Beckenham, BR3 3DY
About 174a
174a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Beckenham (BR3 3DY). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. At 85 m² this is the 25th smallest of 35 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–170 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to A across 35 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a C (score 73). The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 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. At 85 m² it's 19.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 34 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 is 41.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£284/sq ft) was about 19.2% below the postcode norm.
