27 Guildford Road, Croydon, CR0 2HL

27 Guildford Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Croydon (CR0 2HL). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £380,000 sits 126.2% above the 2009 sale of £168,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 32.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
