Overview

About 8 Downlands Gardens

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

8 Downlands Gardens is a mid-terrace house in Worthing (BN14 9EZ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£298/sq ft) was about 67.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 8 Downlands Gardens is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN14 9EZ. 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 8 Downlands Gardens. 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 8 Downlands Gardens was lodged in November 2015 at band C and expired in November 2025, 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. None is matched to 8 Downlands Gardens. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN14 9EZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Downlands Gardens is in council tax band C. 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.
