Price per square foot
Knowing the average house price in Arena is not much use. However, knowing average price per square foot can be quite useful. Price per sqft allows some comparison between properties of different size. We define price per square foot as the sold price divided by the internal area of a property:
£ per sqft = price ÷ internal areaE.g. 52, Swinburne Crescent, Arena, Croydon, sold for £380,000 on Jul-2024. Given the internal area of 818 square feet, the price per sqft is £464.
England & Wales have been officially metric for many decades. Convert this site to square meters.
The chart below is called a histogram, it helps you see the distribution of this house price per sqft data. To make this chart we put the sales data into a series of £ per sqft 'buckets' (e.g. £436-£464, £464-£492, £492-£520 etc...) we then count the number of sales with within in each bucket and plot the results. The chart is based on 206 sales in Arena (CR0 7) that took place in the last two years.

You can see the spread of prices above. This is because although internal area is a key factor in determining valuation, it is not the only factor. Many factors other than size affect desirability; these factors could be condition, aspect, garden size, negotiating power of the vendor etc.
The spread of prices will give you a feel of the typical range to expect in Arena (CR0 7). Of the 206 transactions, half were sold for between £406 and £518 per square foot. The median, or 'middle', price per square foot in 'CR0 7' is £463. Notably, only 25% of properties that sold recently were valued at more than £518 sqft. For anything to be valued more than this means it has to be more desireable than the clear majority of homes.

Data from Land Registry comes in gradually over time. I update it every month but it takes about 5 months for the majority of sales for Croydon to be recorded. Disclaimer: I do not verify and cannot guarantee the accuracy of any data shown. Outliers exist in the data, typically these are where the EPC registry records the internal area incorrectly, sometimes although very rarely the Land Registry price paid data can be wrong. The data provided throughout this website about Croydon and any other area, is not financial advice. Any information provided does not and cannot ever take in to account the particular financial situation, objectives or property needs of either you or anyone reading this information.
