How the estimate is made
The estimate for Firs Lodge is modelled from its 116 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RH10 3JD.

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 £927,000 is 46% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£508/sq ft) was about 82.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Firs Lodge is modelled from its 116 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RH10 3JD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Firs Lodge. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Firs Lodge was lodged in October 2008 at band E and expired in October 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Firs Lodge. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH10 3JD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Firs Lodge is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
