The Croft, Flat 11, 44 Brownlow Road, Croydon, CR0 5JT

The Croft is an end-of-terrace house in Croydon (CR0 5JT). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 78 m² this is the 11th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in The Croft, where floor areas span 67–78 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 12 units on file.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 78 m² it's 26.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 36 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 is 43.7% above the 2007 sale price.
