Overview

About 21 Vale Drive

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

21 Vale Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Worthing (BN14 0DD). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1058 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £403,000 sits 64.5% above the 2009 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 98 m² it's 22.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 18 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).

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 21 Vale Drive is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN14 0DD. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 21 Vale Drive. 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 21 Vale Drive was lodged in August 2009 at band E and expired in August 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 21 Vale Drive. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN14 0DD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21 Vale Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
