Overview

About 31 Boston Road

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

31 Boston Road is an end-of-terrace house in Croydon (CR0 3EG). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

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. Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 sits 115.7% above the 2009 sale of £152,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 38.5% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused.
