About 2 Arlington Crescent
2 Arlington Crescent is a three-bedroom detached house in East Preston, Littlehampton, Littlehampton (BN16 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £366,000 sits 74.3% above the 2009 sale of £209,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 18.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.
