About 12 Downs Avenue

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

12 Downs Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chislehurst (BR7 6HG). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
