Overview

About 8 Akehurst Close

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

8 Akehurst Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Copthorne, Crawley, Crawley (RH10 3QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1419 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2008–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at -4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 sits 72.8% above the 2012 sale of £268,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 31.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
