Acers, Flat 7, 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 45 m² (around 484 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. At 45 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Acers (45–99 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 is 25.6% above the 2007 sale price.
