About 3 Howley Road
3 Howley Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Croydon (CR0 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.
Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £398,000 sits 76.9% above the 2008 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 24.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
