About 13 Cromwell Road
13 Cromwell Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Beckenham (BR3 4LP). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1902 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 48). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £975,000 sits 126.7% above the 2010 sale of £430,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£226/sq ft) was about 28.4% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
