About 5 Ash Tree Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Ash Tree Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Croydon (CR0 7SR). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £467,000 sits 87.9% above the 2012 sale of £248,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£282/sq ft) was about 41.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. At 82 m² it's 20.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 14 EPCs).

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Ash Tree Close is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CR0 7SR. 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 5 Ash Tree Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
