Overview

About 1 Akehurst Close

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

1 Akehurst Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Copthorne, Crawley, Crawley (RH10 3QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £562,000 sits 60.6% above the 2009 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2002.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Akehurst Close is modelled from its 146 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RH10 3QQ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Akehurst Close. 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 1 Akehurst Close was lodged in July 2026 at band D and is valid until July 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Akehurst Close. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH10 3QQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Akehurst Close is in council tax band F. 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.
