2 Elmwood Drive, Bexley, DA5 3PS

2 Elmwood Drive is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Bexley (DA5 3PS). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 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. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £687,000 sits 420.5% above the 1997 sale of £132,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 82.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
