21a, Arundel Road, Croydon, CR0 2ER
About 21a
21a is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Croydon (CR0 2ER). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £610,000 is 47% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£301/sq ft) was about 16.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
