About 8 Elmlee Close

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

8 Elmlee Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chislehurst (BR7 5DU). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

Across 1999–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £720,000 is 26.3% above the 2014 sale price.
