3 Cheviot Walk, Crawley, RH11 7LZ

3 Cheviot Walk is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Crawley (RH11 7LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. At 43 m² this is the 7th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–51 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £203,000 is 31% above the 2007 sale price.
