Overview

About 493 King Henrys Drive

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

493 King Henrys Drive is a semi-detached house in New Addington, Croydon, Croydon (CR0 0AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 770 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in February 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 1277.3% above the 1997 sale of £22,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£29/sq ft) was about 87.1% below the postcode norm.
