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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2008–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at -4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £481,000 sits 79.5% above the 2012 sale of £268,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 29.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Akehurst Close is modelled from its 132 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 8 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 8 Akehurst Close was lodged in March 2012 at band E and expired in March 2022, 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 8 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
8 Akehurst Close is in council tax band E. 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.
