Overview

About 24 Farmlands Close

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

24 Farmlands Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Polegate (BN26 5LH). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 85 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 59.5% above the 2007 sale of £190,000.
