Overview

About 8 Birch Close

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

8 Birch Close is a semi-detached house in Crawley Down, Crawley, Crawley (RH10 4UR). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £401,000 sits 463.2% above the 1996 sale of £71,200.
