About 16 Elgin Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Elgin Road is a semi-detached house in Croydon (CR0 6XA). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). At 109 m² this is the 75th 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.
Held since March 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 87 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 sits 656.3% above the 1995 sale of £43,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 85% below the postcode norm. 21 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 14 refused. Past consents include HMO conversion, subdivision, an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 16 Elgin Road is modelled from its 109 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CR0 6XA. 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 16 Elgin Road. 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 16 Elgin Road was lodged in June 2018 at band D and is valid until June 2028. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 21 applications are matched to 16 Elgin Road. 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.

- Council tax band
- 16 Elgin Road 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.
