About 4b
4b is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Croydon (CR0 3SL). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 44 m² this is the 13th smallest of 63 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–144 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 63 units on file. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows a C (score 70).
It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 56.8% above the 2008 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£327/sq ft) was about 99% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 44 m² it's 24.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 62 EPCs).
