50a, Elgin Road, Croydon, CR0 6XA

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 19 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 £313,000 sits 90.9% above the 2007 sale of £164,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 25.6% below the postcode norm.
