About 71b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
71b is a mid-terrace house in Bexley (DA5 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–86 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (74 versus a worst of 42). The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in March 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.
Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 is 26.6% below the 2017 sale of £335,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£707/sq ft) was about 284.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. At 44 m² it's 29.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 6 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 71b is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DA5 1AA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 71b. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 71b was lodged in March 2024 at band C and is valid until March 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 71b. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DA5 1AA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 71b is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
