About 71 Croydon Close
71 Croydon Close is an end-of-terrace house in Southampton (SO16 8GW). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2023) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
Held since November 2008 — that's 18 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 94 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 70 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 74.4% above the 2008 sale of £160,000.
