7 Darwin Road, Welling, DA16 2EQ
About 7 Darwin Road
7 Darwin Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Welling (DA16 2EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since August 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £687,000 sits 235.1% above the 2000 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 45.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
