Overview

About 15a

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

15a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Worthing (BN11 5LF). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 599 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 63), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 56 m² this is the 14th smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–142 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (34 versus a best of 76).

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £182,000 sits 65.5% above the 2009 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 18.6% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15a is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN11 5LF. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 15a. 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 15a was lodged in November 2008 at band F and expired in November 2018, 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 15a. 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 5LF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15a 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.
