About 16 Riverside
16 Riverside is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Littlehampton (BN17 5DE). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 429 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
