Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Worthing (BN11 4PB). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. Tenure is freehold. At 61 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 57–65 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 (46 versus a best of 70). The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2009. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£457/sq ft) was about 154.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: October 2022 at £300,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
