About 1a
1a is a semi-detached house in Bexley (DA5 3LD). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. At 62 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 61–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
It hasn't traded since April 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £400,000 sits 135.3% above the 2001 sale of £170,000.
