Overview

About Southfields Court

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

It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 63.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Southfields Court is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 1BX. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for Southfields Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Southfields Court was lodged in March 2011 at band E and expired in March 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Southfields Court. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN21 1BX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Southfields Court is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
