Overview

About Orchards

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

Orchards is a four-bedroom detached house in Rowfant, Crawley, Crawley (RH10 4NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 491 m² (around 5285 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2018) returns a high B (score 87), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in June 2018 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Very Good. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 491 m² the property is well over the postcode median (348 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £2,959,000 sits 247.1% above the 2007 sale of £852,500. 5 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

Method

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 Orchards is modelled from its 491 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RH10 4NJ. 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 Orchards. 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 Orchards was lodged in August 2018 at band B and is valid until August 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Orchards. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH10 4NJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Orchards is in council tax band G. 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.
