15a, Bywood Avenue, Croydon, CR0 7RB
About 15a
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.
