4 Lakeside, Beckenham, BR3 6LX
About 4 Lakeside
4 Lakeside is a mid-terrace house in Beckenham (BR3 6LX). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 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 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £392,000 is 45.2% above the 2007 sale price.
