About Top Flat
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Top Flat is a semi-detached house in Worthing (BN11 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £189,000 sits 302.1% above the 1999 sale of £47,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 59.6% below the postcode norm. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Top Flat is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN11 1DL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Top Flat. 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 Top Flat was lodged in May 2012 at band D 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 Top Flat. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN11 1DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
