About 13 The Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 The Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Bexley (DA5 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1425 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 52). Main heating runs on electricity.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused.

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 13 The Close is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DA5 1BD. 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 13 The Close. 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 13 The Close was lodged in February 2011 at band F and expired in February 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 13 The Close. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DA5 1BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 13 The Close is in council tax band F. 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.
