About 17a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Croydon (CR0 7RB). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 37 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (37–99 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 12 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (54 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 is 48.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£457/sq ft) was about 29.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 17a is modelled from its 37 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 17a. 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 17a was lodged in August 2019 at band D and is valid until August 2029. 2 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 17a. 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.
