The CR5 postcode district is a mix of suburban terraces, interwar semis, downland villages and newer estates such as the redeveloped Cane Hill site. Since 2019 we have recorded 1,398 sales across 2,672 addresses, with a median of £500,000. Homes that sold twice gained about 5.1% a year, and owners keep a home for around 6.8 years on average.
Flats are a minority at 19% of addresses, so houses set the tone: 40% of rated homes reach EPC band C or better, which leaves a large stock of older homes with room to improve. For one road in detail see Chipstead Valley Road, and for every road in the district see the street rankings.

County and borough are not the same geography: why CR5 straddles Croydon and Surrey
CR5 addresses are written as Coulsdon, Surrey, because the Royal Mail postal county is Surrey. Local government is different: Coulsdon and Old Coulsdon have been in the London Borough of Croydon since 1965, while Chipstead, Hooley and Netherne-on-the-Hill sit in Reigate and Banstead, a Surrey district. That one boundary changes the council tax authority, school admissions, bin collections, the parliamentary constituency and the HM Land Registry price index we compare against.
Door Number assigns every page to its true local authority rather than to the postal county, which is why the Coulsdon pages sit under Croydon and the Surrey-side postcode CR5 1RZ compares with Reigate and Banstead.
Council tax in CR5: Band D is £2,600 a year in Croydon, up 4.8% on last year
Charge for 2026 to 2027, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
The average Band D council tax in Croydon is £2,600 for 2026 to 2027, £208 above the England average of £2,392. That ranks Croydon 36th highest of 296 billing authorities, and the charge rose from £2,480 last year. Next door in Reigate and Banstead, Band D is £2,567, £33 less than in Croydon, so which side of a council boundary a home sits on changes the bill by about £33 a year at Band D.
Your own bill depends on your property's band. In England bands are set from the home's estimated value on 1 April 1991, so a Band C home pays eight ninths of the Band D charge and a Band F home thirteen ninths. The figures below are the charge for each band in Croydon, before any discount or reduction, and they include the county or borough, police, fire and any parish or GLA precepts averaged across the authority.
| Band | Per year | Per month (12 payments) |
|---|---|---|
| Band A | £1,733 | £144 |
| Band B | £2,022 | £169 |
| Band C | £2,311 | £193 |
| Band D | £2,600 | £217 |
| Band E | £3,178 | £265 |
| Band F | £3,755 | £313 |
| Band G | £4,333 | £361 |
| Band H | £5,200 | £433 |
You can check or challenge a home's band on the GOV.UK "Find your Council Tax band" service.
