Overview

About 3 Birkdale Drive

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

3 Birkdale Drive is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ifield, Crawley, Crawley (RH11 0TU). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1997–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £206,000 sits 180.3% above the 2001 sale of £73,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 26.7% below the postcode norm. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (77 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
