How we reported this
The Croydon property auction market is showing clear signs of activity, with 62 live lots currently available in the CR postcode area carrying a median guide price of £210,000, according to data updated on 9 July 2026. The figures, compiled from recent auction listings, offer a snapshot of a market where both investors and homebuyers remain engaged.
Median Prices and Recent Sales
Across the broader CR area, the median hammer price for 908 sold lots stands at £274,500. Recent June 2026 transactions include a property on Woodville Road in Thornton Heath that fetched £402,000, and a sale on Lower Addiscombe Road in Croydon at £150,000. These results, sourced from auction data, illustrate the range of values across different parts of the borough.
Earlier sales this year also underscore the market's breadth. In May 2026, a freehold end-of-terrace house at 34 Coniston Road, Croydon, sold for £361,000, while a semi-detached house at 17 St. Johns Road was listed with a guide price of £340,000. Looking further back to December 2025, a freehold house at 30 Vicarage Road, Croydon, achieved £311,000, and a detached house at 25 Pinewood Close carried a price tag of £715,000.
Major Investment Property Coming to Auction
For investors, one of the standout lots in the pipeline is the Former Leslie Arms Public House at 62 Lower Addiscombe Road. This mixed-use investment property is scheduled for auction on 12 August 2026, with a guide price of £1,450,000. The gross yield of 9.78% suggests strong income potential, drawing attention from commercial buyers.
The auction landscape in Croydon continues to offer a mix of residential and investment opportunities. The median guide of £210,000 across 62 lots, combined with a sold median of £274,500 from nearly a thousand completed sales, signals that bidding often pushes prices above initial expectations. For buyers, this reinforces the importance of thorough pre-auction research and having finance in place.
As the market heads through the summer months, the August 2026 auction will be closely watched. With yields above 9% on certain commercial assets and consistent residential turnover, Croydon's auction rooms remain a key barometer for local property sentiment.
