72 Ash Tree Way, Croydon, CR0 7SJ

72 Ash Tree Way is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Croydon (CR0 7SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since August 2014. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 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. Today's modelled estimate of £489,000 sits 95.6% above the 2008 sale of £250,000. At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (108 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
