About 48 Walden Road
48 Walden Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Chislehurst (BR7 5DL). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1469 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1996–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £878,000 sits 86.8% above the 2005 sale of £470,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023.
