About 157a
157a is a mid-terrace house in Bexley (DA5 1BT). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 69 m² this is the 12th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–176 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 is 23.9% below the 2015 sale of £360,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£485/sq ft) was about 142% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 11 years since the last transfer (October 2015).
