Sales, and the paperwork
HM Land Registry recorded at least 251 standard sales in the BR8 postcode district in the twelve months to July 2026, at a median price of £416,000; the most recent months are still being registered, so the true figure is higher. 113 of them were semi-detached houses and 68 terraced. Almost every one of those sales went through a seller’s property information form, the TA6, and it asks the same electrical questions each time: has electrical work been done, and where is the certificate. In a house that has changed hands two or three times, the honest answer is often that a previous owner changed the board or added a circuit and the paperwork went with them. That is the gap an electrician can close before it becomes a question from the buyer’s solicitor. If the work was notified, the council’s building control team can say so. If it was not, or no one knows, an EICR records the state of the installation as it is today, with the date, the codes and the next inspection, and a new board or circuit fitted now comes with its own compliance certificate for the next sale.
Registration lag: recent months are still filling in (July 2026 shows 10 sales), so the true 12-month total will be higher; 21 category B sales (repossessions, buy-to-let, transfers, 'other' property) excluded.

Landlords in Swanley
Most of BR8 is in Sevenoaks district, with the edge towards St Mary Cray in the London Borough of Bromley, so the local housing authority for a landlord depends on which side of the line the property sits.
