Overview

About 47 North Lane

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

47 North Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in East Preston, Littlehampton, Littlehampton (BN16 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1228 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £476,000 sits 64.1% above the 2011 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 15.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2011, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
