About 26a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

26a is a semi-detached house in Beckenham (BR3 5LE). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band D. At 60 m² this is the 32nd smallest of 60 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 17–347 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 sits 57.5% above the 2008 sale of £200,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
