About 5 Hampden Avenue
5 Hampden Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Beckenham (BR3 4HA). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 61), 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 January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £864,000 is 23.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£478/sq ft) was about 44.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
