About Flat 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 3 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Worthing (BN11 4NU). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–54 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £166,000 is 32.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£242/sq ft) was about 35.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Flat 3 is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN11 4NU. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Flat 3. 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 Flat 3 was lodged in May 2024 at band D and is valid until May 2034. 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 Flat 3. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN11 4NU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 3 is in council tax band A. 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.
