Overview

About 1 Kenley Close

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

1 Kenley Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bexley (DA5 1AL). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£562/sq ft) was about 80.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 91 m² it's 16.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (109 m² median across 8 EPCs). Most recent transfer: April 2022 at £550,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
