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 £209,000 sits 184.4% above the 2001 sale of £73,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 26.8% 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.

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 3 Birkdale Drive is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RH11 0TU. 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 3 Birkdale Drive. 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 3 Birkdale Drive was lodged in May 2012 at band E and expired in May 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Birkdale Drive. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH11 0TU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Birkdale Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
