Overview

About The Croft

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

The Croft is a five-bedroom detached house in Crawley Down, Crawley, Crawley (RH10 4JF). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2034 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £849,000 sits 63.3% above the 2007 sale of £520,000.

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 The Croft is modelled from its 189 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RH10 4JF. 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. 3 sales are recorded for The Croft. 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 The Croft was lodged in March 2017 at band E and is valid until March 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to The Croft. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH10 4JF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Croft 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.
