What property costs in Crawley
£332,000: that was the typical Crawley sale price in July 2026 on the UK House Price Index, up from £325,000 a year earlier. The South East figure was £380,878, so Crawley sits below its region.
The gap between property types is wide: £211,000 for flats and maisonettes, £342,000 for terraces, £426,000 for semis and £666,000 for detached homes. In the twelve months to July 2026, semi-detached prices rose 3.7% while flats were around the same as a year earlier.
Cash buyers in Crawley paid £328,000 on average and buyers with a mortgage £333,000; first-time buyers averaged £298,000 and those moving home £397,000.
Private rents in Crawley averaged £1,488 a month in August 2026, up 2.8% from £1,447. One-bedroom homes let for £1,067, two bedrooms £1,385, three £1,642 and four or more £2,260.
That puts Crawley above the South East average of £1,426, with rents across the South East up 3.0% over the same year. By type, terraced rents rose 3.2%, with one- and three-bedroom homes up 3.1%.
A few comparisons drawn from the same figures. Crawley homes averaged 21.6% more than the UK figure of £273,000. Home-movers paid £99,000 more than first-time buyers (£397,000 against £298,000). Rents outpaced prices, up 2.8% against +2.3% for values. A four-bedroom let cost 2.1 times a one-bedroom let.
What the figures mean for a bridge in Crawley
Run the averages through a bridge and a Crawley terrace at £342,000 supports roughly £240,000 at 70% loan to value, a semi at £426,000 roughly £320,000 at 75%. The lender's valuer sets the figure that counts, not the index.
Where the exit is a buy-to-let mortgage, a Crawley flat letting at £1,225 against a £211,000 average price yields about 7.0% gross, and a terrace at £1,474 against £342,000 about 5.2%. At that level the rental cover test, not the valuation, can decide how much a refinance raises. Our bridging calculator covers the cost of the bridge itself.
Tax and legal points in Crawley
Stamp Duty Land Tax is often the biggest cost after the deposit. A terraced house at the £342,000 average would cost about £24,200 in Stamp Duty Land Tax, and a flat at £211,000 about £12,270, for an individual buying an additional home, using the current bands plus the 5% higher-rates surcharge. Your solicitor confirms the exact figure.
