4 Aurelia Gardens, Croydon, CR0 3BD

4 Aurelia Gardens is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Croydon (CR0 3BD). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 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. At 148 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). Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 sits 91.7% above the 2008 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£113/sq ft) was about 52.1% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
