13 Chandos Road, Worthing, BN11 1TJ

13 Chandos Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Worthing (BN11 1TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 41 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–169 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (January 2020) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£532/sq ft) was about 171.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2002.
