About 31 Crofton Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
31 Crofton Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bexley (DA5 3AS). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 816 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). Across 2009–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £402,000 is 14.9% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£429/sq ft) was about 59.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 31 Crofton Avenue is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DA5 3AS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 31 Crofton Avenue. 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 31 Crofton Avenue was lodged in January 2009 at band E and expired in January 2019, 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. 2 applications are matched to 31 Crofton Avenue. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DA5 3AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 31 Crofton Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
