Overview

About 17 Briar Road

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

17 Briar Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Croydon, London, London (SW16 4LT). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2022) 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 November 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. 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 £554,000 sits 91% above the 2007 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£299/sq ft) was about 17.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
