Overview

About 31 South Farm Road

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

31 South Farm Road is a mid-terrace house in Worthing (BN14 7AD). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 43 m² this is the 4th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–102 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor.

Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 54.9% below the 2024 sale of £410,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£886/sq ft) was about 98% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An application is currently awaiting a decision. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Sold September 2024 for £410,000.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 31 South Farm Road is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN14 7AD.

Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 31 South Farm Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
