Overview

About 55 Thanet Road

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

55 Thanet Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bexley (DA5 1AP). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £624,000 sits 55.6% above the 2015 sale of £401,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£308/sq ft) was about 15.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 121 m² it's 28.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (94 m² median across 20 EPCs). Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
