Ground Floor, 11 Baring Road, Croydon, CR0 7DD

Ground Floor is a mid-terrace house in Croydon (CR0 7DD). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 sits 53.7% above the 2009 sale of £149,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£256/sq ft) was about 25.9% below the postcode norm. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
