Overview

About 8 Albany Close

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

8 Albany Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bexley (DA5 3ES). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 74 m² it's 23.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 28 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £502,000 is 49.9% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£421/sq ft) was about 52.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
