Overview

About Firs Lodge

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

Firs Lodge is a five-bedroom detached house in Copthorne, Crawley, Crawley (RH10 3JD). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1250 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £936,000 is 47.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£508/sq ft) was about 98.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
