About Ridgemount

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

Ridgemount is a four-bedroom detached house in Chislehurst (BR7 5DD). It has a recorded floor area of 220 m² (around 2368 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 220 m² it's 19.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (184 m² median across 20 EPCs). Across 1998–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,437,000 is 20.8% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£503/sq ft) was about 35.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
