About 16 Elgar Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

16 Elgar Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Croydon, London, London (SW16 4JA). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54).
