Overview

About Top Flat

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Top Flat is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Worthing (BN11 4NS). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Sold November 2022 for £235,000. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1999–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year.
