Overview

About 17 Howard Avenue

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

17 Howard Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bexley (DA5 3BB). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £503,000 sits 52.4% above the 2015 sale of £330,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£330/sq ft) was about 24.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 93 m² it's 25.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 21 EPCs). On the market in March 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.
