The estimate for 24b is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CR0 6UH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About 24b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
24b is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Croydon (CR0 6UH). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 36 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (36–147 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 19 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good.
Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 is 19.8% below the 2007 sale of £526,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,357/sq ft) was about 494% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since March 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 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 24b is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CR0 6UH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 24b. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 24b was lodged in March 2023 at band D and is valid until March 2033. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 24b. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 51 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CR0 6UH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 24b is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
