About 50a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
50a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Croydon (CR0 6XA). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 84 m² this is the 62nd 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. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 84 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 £316,000 sits 92.7% above the 2007 sale of £164,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 26.5% below the postcode norm.

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 50a is modelled from its 84 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 50a. 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 50a was lodged in September 2012 at band D and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 50a. 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 50 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CR0 6XA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
