Overview

About 5a

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

5a is an end-of-terrace house in Welling (DA16 3AX). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £141,000 sits 705.7% above the 2007 sale of £17,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 87.2% below the postcode norm. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
