Overview

About 2a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2a is a three-bedroom detached house in Croydon (CR0 7RA). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £590,000 sits 90.3% above the 2012 sale of £310,000. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in February 2012. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 116 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CR0 7RA. 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 2a. 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 2a was lodged in October 2012 at band D and expired in October 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 2a. 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 47 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CR0 7RA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2a is in council tax band D. 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.
