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.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 31 Boston Road is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CR0 3EG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 31 Boston Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 31 Boston Road was lodged in April 2022 at band D and is valid until April 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 31 Boston Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 53 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CR0 3EG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 31 Boston Road is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
