About 2 Holmbush Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Holmbush Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Findon, Worthing, Worthing (BN14 0SX). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 2 Holmbush Cottages is modelled from its 107 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN14 0SX. 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 2 Holmbush Cottages. 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 2 Holmbush Cottages was lodged in October 2013 at band E and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Holmbush Cottages. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN14 0SX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Holmbush Cottages is in council tax band E. 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.
