Overview

About 5 Ashwood Drive

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

5 Ashwood Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Rustington, Littlehampton, Littlehampton (BN16 3EP). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 811 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 75 m² this is the 9th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–76 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 10 units on file.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 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 78% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 is 40.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 15.7% below the postcode norm.
