How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15a is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CR0 7RB. 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.

About 15a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Croydon (CR0 7RB). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 44 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–99 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 44 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (54 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 sits 82.2% above the 2008 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£285/sq ft) was about 31.6% below the postcode norm.

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 15a is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CR0 7RB. 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 15a. 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 15a was lodged in May 2026 at band C and is valid until May 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15a. 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 7RB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
