Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Beech House is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 4HZ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Beech House. 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 Beech House was lodged in July 2010 at band D and expired in July 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to Beech House. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN21 4HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
