About 16 Lakeside
16 Lakeside is a semi-detached house in Beckenham (BR3 6LX). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. At 82 m² this is the 4th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 75–147 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £404,000 sits 61.6% above the 2009 sale of £249,950.
