12b, Elgin Road, Croydon, CR0 6XA
About 12b
12b is a detached house in Croydon (CR0 6XA). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. At 43 m² this is the 27th smallest of 88 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 14–190 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 88 units on file.
Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 is 10.3% below the 2007 sale of £407,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£879/sq ft) was about 264.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since February 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.
