About 31 Boston Road
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.
