About 17 Willow Drive
17 Willow Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Polegate (BN26 5DN). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 58.5% above the 2009 sale of £182,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£309/sq ft) was about 31.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 55 m² it's 24.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 18 EPCs).
