Silver Birch Court, 45 Northampton Road, Croydon, CR0 7HD

Silver Birch Court is a detached house in Croydon (CR0 7HD). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1720 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £569,000 sits 306.4% above the 1996 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 75.7% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
