27 Cranleigh Close, South Croydon, CR2 9LH

27 Cranleigh Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in South Croydon (CR2 9LH). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 72 m² this is the 6th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 60–253 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62).

It hasn't traded since December 1996, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 sits 302.5% above the 1996 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 60.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
