Acers, Flat 5, 2 Elmstead Lane, Chislehurst, BR7 5RL

Acers is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chislehurst (BR7 5RL). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2007 onwards. The latest certificate (August 2016) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. Main heating runs on electricity. At 51 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Acers, where floor areas span 45–99 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (88 versus a worst of 61). The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 is 39.5% above the 2007 sale price.
