Overview

About 36 Empress Drive

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

36 Empress Drive is a detached house in Chislehurst (BR7 5BG). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).

It hasn't traded since January 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area.

At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £834,000 sits 189.6% above the 2001 sale of £288,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£201/sq ft) was about 38.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
