About 17 Riverside
17 Riverside is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Littlehampton (BN17 5DE). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 is 45.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£339/sq ft) was about 25.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
