About 38 Upper High Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Upper High Street is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Worthing (BN11 1DR). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £457,000 sits 85.8% above the 2009 sale of £246,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 41.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count.

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 38 Upper High Street is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN11 1DR. 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 38 Upper High Street. 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 38 Upper High Street was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 2019, 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 38 Upper High Street. 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 1DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 38 Upper High Street is in council tax band C. 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.
