Overview

About 1 Drake Road

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

1 Drake Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Croydon (CR0 3NH). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 663 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Across 2002–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £370,000 sits 105.6% above the 2006 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 275.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 62 m² it's 16.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 7 EPCs).
