About 2 Albany Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Albany Close is a semi-detached house in Bexley (DA5 3ES). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since.

The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).
Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £612,000 sits 218.8% above the 2009 sale of £192,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 54.7% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 2 Albany Close is modelled from its 139 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DA5 3ES. 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 2 Albany 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 2 Albany Close was lodged in December 2020 at band C and is valid until December 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 2 Albany 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 42 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DA5 3ES, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Albany Close is in council tax band E. 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.
