10b, Parsons Mead, Croydon, CR0 3SL

10b is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Croydon (CR0 3SL). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 sits 380% above the 1999 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 51% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
