8 Bishops Park Road is a semi-detached house in Croydon, London, London (SW16 5TT). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since April 1995, a hold of 31 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. At 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £686,000 sits 955.4% above the 1995 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 83.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
