It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15 Croft Close is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B79 9BU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 15 Croft Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
