About 18 Forest Close

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

18 Forest Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Crawley Down, Crawley, Crawley (RH10 4LT). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
