Overview

About 7 Arbuthnot Lane

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

7 Arbuthnot Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bexley (DA5 1EH). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £509,000 sits 78.1% above the 2013 sale of £285,850. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in June 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. At 92 m² it's 25.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (124 m² median across 23 EPCs).
