About 23 Chaffinch Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Chaffinch Avenue is a detached house in Croydon (CR0 7SF). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £632,000 sits 129.8% above the 2008 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£218/sq ft) was about 29.5% below the postcode norm.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 23 Chaffinch Avenue is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CR0 7SF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 23 Chaffinch Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
