Overview

About 18a

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

18a is a semi-detached house in Worthing (BN14 7HL). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 64 m² this is the 24th smallest of 36 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–117 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2008); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since November 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 sits 240.9% above the 1999 sale of £66,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 55.7% 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 18a is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN14 7HL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 18a. 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 18a was lodged in November 2024 at band E and is valid until November 2034. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 18a. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN14 7HL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18a is in council tax band B. 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.
