About 114 Downs Way

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

114 Downs Way is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in East Preston, Littlehampton, Littlehampton (BN16 1AF). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 599 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a G (score 8), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 52.4% above the 2011 sale of £105,000. At 56 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 13 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
